    Speedometer/Cruise control

    I adjusted my speedometer using HPT for the bigger wheels that I'm running, but since then my cruise control has not worked. If I adjust it back to the stock size (when the speedometer is off), the cruise works just fine. Any ideas?

    Bump, we just adjusted the actual tire size. Do I need to put in the gear ratio or anything?

    Gear ratio is 1:1, and we left it at that. (BTW, I am the guy tath does Joe's tuning)

    When ever we change the tire size, (or even do it by hand for pulse/mile) the cruise dies, but comes back as soon as we restor it to stock values.

    Really odd problem, and I can't think that we are the only one with it.

    Another bump. Has anyone else had this problem? I can't (and neither can HandyJoe, although with my HPT cable) change tire size (manually or otherwise) with out cruise control dying. We have tried enough times and enough variations, and the tire size is the ONLY thing that keeps it from working.

    if the p0068 code test is disabled it will not let u use the cruise control...I m assuming this is for rationality checks to check for proper operation of the ETC

    It's not disabled. It DOES work, if I change pretty much anything, until I play with the tire size settings.

    There are 2 other cruise control DTCs in HPT, both are "cruise control inhibit output circuit"

    P1585 and P1654

    Also, while driving in the car with the scanner open try clicking 'off' on the Cruise Inhibit button.

    Ok then maybe someone can help me with the settings because if you do these wrong they do affect the cruise control.

    Section Width: 11.22 in 285 mm

    Rim Diameter: 17 in 431.8 mm

    Overall Diameter: 33.83 in 859.28 mm

    Radius: 16.91 in 429.51 mm

    Circumference: 106.2 in 2697.4 mm

    i just got my colorado tuned like last month and i have problems with my cruise control as well.

    as well as another buddy of mine we both took our colorados to Gregsttuningopperation and both came back home without crusie control working.

    i had my speedo recalibrated for a 31" tire.. from a 28" tire..

    Even with using the spreadsheet to get the right numbers my cruise still does not work. There has to be something we are missing.

    I just got my 2018 Silverado tuned last week, and ever since then my cruise control seems to only work when it wants to, and when it does work it will disengage when you try setting it to over 63 mph

    Piling on late to this thread. I'm also experiencing this issue with my 2016 Toyota Tundra. I changed my tire size. My cruise will engage, but when it has to downshift, it will never rev past 3,500 RPMs and just slows down going uphill. It's VERY odd. Even after re-flashing with the defaults, it still has this issue. Anyone ever find a solution?

    I think early in 2020 hptuner finally updated/unlocked parts of the OS that let the gear and tire wizard reprogram both the speedo and also the tc/abs that the cruise control uses.

    So you may want to update to the most recent hptuner editor and then update the tune on the truck with the new editor tune.

    You will know if this is the problem if your traction control light comes on real easy when driving on a round about or clover leaf free way entrance at just a hair over normal speed, but not fast enough for traction to be lost.

    The computer will see a g meter and steering angle and your tire speed and t/c numbers out of whack enough to trigger the t/c (and light)
