The Cruise Control system provides automatic vehicle speed
control. The electronics and stepper motor are contained in a
control module mounted under the left side cover. The stepper motor actuates the cruise control cable through a gear
train and ribbon reel.
SYSTEM OPERATION
To engage and disengage the cruise control system, proceed
as follows:
1. While riding in fourth or fifth gear, turn the Cruise ON/
OFF Switch to the ON position. See Figure 8-123. The
switch is located on the fairing cap of FLHTCU models,
the instrument nacelle of FLTR models, and the left handlebar lower switch housing on FLHRC models. The
Cruise Enabled/Engaged lamp in the tachometer face
(speedometer on FLHRC models) turns red to indicate
that the system is activated. See Figure 8-125. A red
lamp in the switch on both FLHTCU and FLTR models
also indicates this condition to the rider.
2. Power (12 vdc) is supplied to the cruise control module
through a 15 amp fuse located in the fuse block mounted
under the left side cover.
3. With the motorcycle traveling at the desired “cruise”
speed (30 mph/48 km/h to 85 mph/137 km/h), momentarily push the Cruise SET/RESUME switch to SET. See
Figure 8-124.

Figure 8-125. Instrument Panel (FLHTCU)
The cruise control module “reads” the vehicle speed
sensor (VSS) output to establish the desired vehicle
speed. The module then sends a signal to the stepper
motor which drives the ribbon reel to take up the slack in
the cruise cable. The Cruise Enabled/Engaged lamp in
the tachometer face (speedometer on FLHRC models)
turns from red to green to indicate that the cruising
speed is locked in. See Figure 8-125.
4. The cruise control module monitors both the engine
RPM and the VSS output speed signal. The module signals the stepper motor to open or close the throttle to
keep the speedometer output speed signal constant.
The engine RPM is monitored to detect engine

overspeed, a condition which automatically causes
cruise disengagement.
5. The cruise control automatically disengages (stepper
motor drives cruise cable to the full-out position) whenever the cruise control module receives one of the following inputs:
a. Front or rear brake is applied.
b. Throttle is “rolled back” or closed, thereby actuating
idle cable roll-off (disengage) switch.
c. Motorcycle clutch is disengaged (module senses
too great an increase in RPM).
d. Cruise ON/OFF Switch placed in the OFF position.
The switch is located on the fairing cap of FLHTCU
models, the instrument nacelle of FLTR models, and
the left handlebar lower switch housing on FLHRC
models. The green Cruise Enabled/Engaged lamp
in the tachometer face (speedometer on FLHRC
models) is extinguished to indicate that the system
is deactivated. The red lamp in the fairing cap switch
of FLHTCU models and the instrument nacelle
switch of FLTR models is also extinguished.
e. Handlebar mounted Engine Stop Switch placed in
the OFF position. (This removes tachometer input
signal which results in module disengagement.)

CABLE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
Always adjust the cables in the sequence presented below,
that is, throttle and then idle cable. The cruise cable only
requires adjustment if the cruise module or cruise cable are
removed or replaced, and then it must be adjusted last using
the CABLE LASH INITIALIZATION routine on the next page.
THROTTLE CABLE
1. With handlebar in straight ahead position, idle cable
adjusted to full slack and throttle control grip turned to
wide open throttle (WOT), adjust pull open cable to
obtain full throttle opening at carburetor/induction module.
8-100 2004 Touring: Electrical
H
OME
2. Twist throttle grip to full closed position. Check that idle
stop-screw is touching idle stop with handlebar in
straight ahead position, and while turning handlebar
from “lock-to-lock”.
NOTE
If idle stop-screw is not touching idle stop, adjust (loosen)
pull-open cable just enough so that contact is made through
full lock-to-lock handlebar movement. Also check that cruise
cable has slack and is not opening throttle. Loosen cruise
cable if required.
3. Rotate throttle grip to WOT and release. Throttle must
return to idle position freely. If it does not, check for
incorrect cable routing, damaged cables or binding in the
throttle grip.
IDLE CABLE
1. Remove left side saddlebag. See Section 2.25 SAD-
DLEBAG, REMOVAL.
2. Gently pull side cover from frame downtubes (no tools
required).
3. Lift the locking latch and remove the cruise module connector [17]. With idle cable still adjusted to full slack position, connect ohmmeter to violet/yellow and orange/
violet leads on connector [17A].
4. Ohmmeter must indicate infinity (switch contacts open).
If ohmmeter indicates continuity, the roll-off switch may
be shorted and entire cable must be replaced.
5. With handlebar in straight ahead position, adjust idle
cable until approximately 0.06 inch (1.5 mm) of freeplay
exists at the outside diameter (OD) of the throttle grip.
6. With light force, rotate the throttle grip toward the closed
position. The ohmmeter must indicate continuity. If it
does not, decrease freeplay at throttle grip by adjusting
the idle cable to obtain continuity while maintaining
some freeplay at the throttle grip.
7. While holding the throttle grip (with light force) in the
closed position, turn handlebar from “lock-to-lock”. Ohmmeter must indicate continuity throughout handlebar
movement.
8. With handlebar in straight ahead position, rotate throttle
grip to WOT and release. Throttle must return to idle
position freely.
9. Repeat step 8 with handlebar at full left and right positions. If throttle does not return to idle position freely,
loosen idle cable slightly and repeat steps 6-9.
10. Install cruise module connector [17] and engage locking
latch.
11. Align barbed studs in side cover with grommets in frame
downtubes and push firmly into place (no tools
required).
12. Install left side saddlebag. See Section 2.25 SADDLE-
BAG, INSTALLATION.
CABLE LASH INITIALIZATION
With the elimination of the mechanical cruise cable adjuster,
the tolerance stack-ups are intended to result in a cable that
is too long. The extra cable length is then taken up upon execution of the Cable Lash Initialization routine. During the routine, the system calculates the number of “motor steps” the
cable is pulled before the throttle plates are moved (a maximum of 200 motor steps equivalent to 1.2 inches or 31 mm).
This information is then stored in permanent memory.
NOTE
Perform the initialization routine whenever the cruise module,
cruise cable or throttle body are removed or replaced. For
best results, be sure the engine is at normal operating temperature and throttle and idle cables are correctly adjusted
and operational.
To set the correct cable lash, proceed as follows:
a. Push the Cruise Switch on the right handlebar to
RESUME and hold
b. Tu rn the Cruise ON/OFF switch to ON.
c. Turn the Ignition/Light Key Switch to IGNITION.
d. Start the engine. The green Cruise Enabled/
Engaged lamp in the tachometer face (speedometer
on FLHRC models) will illuminate. Wait 3 seconds
for the lamp to go off.
e. Release the Cruise Switch from the RESUME posi-
tion.
f. Push the Cruise Switch to RESUME and hold
Cruise will pull in cable until change in RPM is
detected. The number of motor steps required to rev
the engine is stored in memory.
g. After engine revs and Cruise Enabled/Engaged
lamp is extinguished, release the Cruise Switch
from the RESUME position.
h. Turn the Ignition/Light Key Switch to OFF.

THROTTLE/IDLE CABLES
NOTE
While the same throttle cable is used on all Touring models,
the idle cable of “cruise” models is provided with a cruise rolloff (disengage) switch.
REMOVAL
