What are the reasons for the malfunction of the cruise control in the Baojun 530?
2 Answers
Reasons why the cruise control in the Baojun 530 cannot be used: Cruise control switch damage: The cruise control switch is usually located on the multifunction steering wheel of Skoda cars. If the switch is damaged, it cannot send command signals to the ECU. Solution: Go to a repair facility to check if the cruise control switch is functioning properly. Circuit failure: The circuits related to the cruise system mainly include the brake pedal sensor and wheel speed sensor. Solution: Check if these sensors are malfunctioning and replace them if necessary. ECU cannot receive signals from the cruise control solenoid valve: This issue generally occurs when there is a fault with the cruise control solenoid valve or poor ECU port connection. Solution: Go to a repair facility for handling.
I've been driving the Baojun 530 for several years. The cruise control suddenly failed before, and after inspection, it was found to be either a faulty speed sensor or loose/corroded wiring connectors. This system needs real-time data reading to function, and if it gets dirty or worn out, the signal is interrupted. There's also a possibility that the control module is broken—once the computer board has issues, the entire function stops working. The repair cost isn't high, but it's quite troublesome. I usually first check the fuses myself, locating and testing the relevant ones in the fuse box. If they're blown, I replace them; if that doesn’t work, I take it to a repair shop for a diagnostic scan. Additionally, an abnormal brake light switch can interfere with cruise activation because it’s linked to the safety logic. During routine maintenance, pay attention to cleaning around the sensor to reduce such issues—it doesn’t take much time but helps prevent problems. Safety comes first—driving at high speeds with faulty cruise control is risky, so don’t delay repairs.
