Cruise control works by using the ABS sensors for monitoring the speed the brake rotors are turning as a speed sensor.


Is the ABS okay or any warning lights on?

No warning lights or codes Ed, but I will flag this with Geoff at UT as he did not mention that he had checked any of this. I just assume he had run his code reader on the car so will check that as well.

I would have expected that if there was any problems or conflicts with the wheel sensors on your new rotors you would have an ABS light on.

ABS sensors VT-VZ are all monitored in hub, not rotors.

Okay, I must have been thinking of something else.

Rod has the beast been tuned? Did the cruise work correctly at all since you have owned it? I know on the later gen4's if tuned certain tables can mess with cruise if overlooked.

Yes Mick, was mafless tuned by Brad at Enhanced, was just one of his mail order tunes, nothing custom or fancy. And yes it did work fine when I got the car, just not exactly sure when it stopped working. You certainly have me thinking now though, I may not have used it since the tune which was about 6 weeks ago. Will flick a message to Brad and see what he says

As for the electric Aerial, that has everyone stumped as well. Have spoken to a respected Auto Electrician and Audio business and neither have ever encountered an electric aerial that will go up but now down. I am thinking it must be a BCM issue. The place that sold me the aerial have sent out a replacement but I have little faith that this is the problem so am going fit the new aerial and have a manual aerial ready to go if it does the same thing and just install that. In hindsight the electric Ae are just a pain in the arse that will fail again down the track anyway.

So just to confirm Mick, my recent brake change should not have upset the cruise control? ie I can rule that out?

Yes Rod, rotors have no sensors all monitored at the rotating front hubs and rear axles.

Just a suggestion out of left field... are all of your brake lights working ?? Have heard that this can affect cruise control engaging.

Hey Peter, yes mate, we checked that straight up as was my hope that this was what was causing it

Small update on the ute. I have decided that I want to put the front back to the factory style SS front (same as VX SS). Therefore I purchased a full front bar kit from Kingswood Country with bar, headlights and fog lights. I am putting the wife's Mazda into Regal crash early next month to have the boot spoiler resprayed and will get a quote to paint and fit whilst I am there.

I think it will look much better like that Rod.

I have personally never been a fan of the GTO fronts.

Agree Ed. I did not mind the front when I bought it as it was different. After seeing a few utes getting around with the VX front I certainly think they look better.

I like the original look but I am sure you will be able to get a few dollars back for your GTO front if you decide to sell it.

I changed my wheels on my old SS a little while ago
but I will be going back to stock again when I get it back on the road.
