Fyi ..cruise Control Fix- Check Your Brake Fluid!

[JohnU]

The cruise control on my wive's '94 ES300 decided to stop working during a highway trip last week.

The green light would come on but would not engage. After surfing this forums search feature and checking many items referred to but to no avail, I was surfing google and hit on a Toyota site and I found out why mine did not work..... low brake fluid trips a sensor in the master cylinder!!!

The brake fluid level was above the minimum level line but it was low enough to shut down the cruise function.

Works fine again. Go check your fluid. :D
