Installing cruise control focus 3. Cruise control Ford

So it got around to put yourself a cruise control ford focus 3. For a long time the buttons were lying in the trunk and now they are on the steering wheel. In the beginning, I will tell you what I did, well, below is a little theory. By the way, I have a Trend dispute, rp32, and the buttons on the steering wheel are ok.

So, the cruise can be put on any configuration. For this you need:

• Install steering wheel buttons
• Flash cruise control in car configuration

Let's start by installing the cruise control buttons on the ford focus 3

Preparation. Let's check that we have everything at hand:

• Flat screwdriver, not very long (we need it to remove the pillow)
• Mirror (without it, especially the first time is unrealistically difficult)
• Key 8 (to disconnect the battery)
• sharp knife
• Ordinary metalwork pliers (they are convenient to cut the steering wheel)
• Tap M4
• 2 M4*8 screws and 2 washers
• Insulating tape
• crosshead screwdriver
• pin or needle
• Actually cruise control button for ford focus 3
• wires
• Well, more free time (I killed 3 hours on this)

And so we have everything, let's get started.

1. First of all, we disconnect the battery so that the alarm does not work when the pillow is removed from the steering wheel. Let me remind you that we remove the plus from the battery (it is located under the casing), here we need a key for 8.

Now we begin to remove the pillow.

Remove the top cover from the steering wheel. To do this, turn the steering wheel 90 degrees and snap off the latch, then 90 degrees in the other direction and snap off the second one.

And then we pull ourselves. It comes out from the back of the grooves in the form of hooks.

There are two options for how to unfasten the pillow: the first is through large holes (circled in red in the picture below) or through small oval holes (circled in blue)

I shot through the oval holes. To understand how it is filmed, you need to shoot it yourself at least once. The first time I spent half an hour on this. In theory, you need to insert a screwdriver into the oval hole, at an angle (pull up towards the ceiling), insert it all the way and press it against the steering block. The pillow should come off on one side. After that, hold the pillow so that it does not fasten back, and turn the steering wheel 180 degrees (90 from the straight position), so that you can do the same operation on the other side. After unfastening the pillow, gently pull towards you and unfasten 2 connectors.

And here is the pillow removed:

Now we begin to shred our steering wheel. We do this carefully and a little bit, all the time trying on. For convenience, it is better to disassemble the ford focus 3 cruise control knobs into 3 parts and first try on only the buttons (without casings). It is better to cut with ordinary metal cutters, and trim with a knife. Cuts easily. Here is the place where to cut is shown in red, green places for the screws:

After cutting out, try on the buttons and fasten. You can screw it in 2 ways:

• Self-tapping screw for metal
• screws

I screwed it on. This will require 2 M4 * 8 screws and a tap to cut threads under them. Here's what happened:

Now the crucial moment is the wiring. I had the wiring for the cruise and the radio with a green connector, so I cut off all the excess. Then he plugged the wires from the wiring into the pillow block. Here are two pads (On the left is the pad of my steering wheel cushion, on the right is the pad that came with the buttons.):

And so, from the button wiring block, we simply poke wires 8, 15, 16 into the pillow block. Then twist the green button wire with the black pad and the black button wire with the brown pad wire. Simply put, if there is a cruise wiring, then we look at which pins occupy its wires and plug them into the pillow block. If the pins are free on the pillows, then we simply poke (such as 8, 15, 16), and if they are busy, then we rewind (such as 10 and 7). It is more convenient to wind the wires at the left button of the airbag.
Now we connect everything, put the pillow back:

It remains to flash this whole thing and you're done!

And some numbers :)

a bit of theory different variations:
1. You do not have a RP-7 joystick under the helmsman or a cruise
You need to buy 2 wiring - steering and pillows, because. in the wiring of the steering wheel for cruise ANOTHER connector for connecting the pillow. You have a square, in a new wiring round, small green
Rooms:
1801776 - cushion wiring
1801772 - steering wheel wiring for cruise control

2. Do you have a cruise from the factory or RP-7 joystick (under the steering wheel) set the cruise
You already have wiring 1801776 from the factory and you only need to change the steering wheel wiring.
Rooms:
1801774 - steering wheel wiring for cruise and joystick RP-7 under the steering wheel
1692215 or 1784105 - cruise control buttons

3. Transition from pillow OK-M to OK-OK
You must have the original cushion wiring, i.e. 1801776 and it is not at all necessary to buy the whole pillow at the same time, just buy the right OK button. The button is held on the outside by 3 or 2 self-tapping screws - it's elementary to change.
Rooms:
1801776 - cushion wiring
1687313 - OK button right.

4. Installing the RP-7 joystick on a car with a cruise
It is necessary to cut the steering wheel and change the wiring in the steering wheel:
Rooms:
1801774 - steering wheel wiring for cruise and joystick RP-7 stalk
1687311 buttons of the audio unit RP-7 (for steering)
(I ordered by this number, in fact there are 2 of them - 1693377 and 1687311, I don’t know which ones will come at 1693377)

IMPORTANT:
Any changes must be flashed! What is cruise control, what is under the steering joystick, what is the right OK button

Troubleshooting steering without power steering

Increased free play of the steering wheel is possible for the following reasons: the presence of gaps in the hinges of the steering rods of the front wheels, the adjustment of the engagement of the worm and the roller or their increased wear, the wear of the bushings or the axle of the pendulum lever, the loosening of the steering gear housing or the pendulum arm bracket. To determine the gaps in the steering rod joints, it is recommended that one person turn the steering wheel left and right with sharp movements, and the second to feel or visually identify the gaps by pressing his fingers to the two parts connected by the hinges.

If one part of the joint moves and the other is stationary, then there is play; if both parts move at the same time, then there is no play. You can also determine the play in the swivel joints by moving the rod with your hands in the longitudinal direction. If, for example, the longitudinal rod moves along with the bipod, then there is no play in the articulated joint. Even a small gap found in the hinge must be eliminated (replace the hinge).

Violation of the adjustment of the engagement of the worm and the roller or their increased wear is also determined by the sharp swaying of the steering wheel (to the right and left from the middle position) by the occurrence of knocks in the steering mechanism. You can also do this directly by shaking the steering gear bipod with your hand. The malfunction is eliminated by adjusting the engagement of the worm and roller, and in case of their great wear, by replacing parts.

The wear of the bushings or the axis of the pendulum arm is determined by the creaking and knocking when turning the wheels to the right and left, as well as by directly rocking the pendulum arm up and down. The malfunction is eliminated by tightening the nut of the pendulum lever axis or by replacing worn parts. The weakening of the fastening of the steering gear housing and the pendulum arm bracket is eliminated by tightening the corresponding bolts and nuts.

Steering wheel stiffness or sticking in the steering gear can be due to improper adjustment of the backlash in the worm mesh, overtightening of the worm bearings, increased wear of the roller or worm, bent steering rods, insufficient oil in the steering gear housing, grease thickening at low temperature air, low pressure in the tires of the front wheels.

If during the movement of the car there is a tight rotation of the steering wheel or jamming in the steering mechanism, then, first of all, it is necessary to check the air pressure in the tires and the lubrication in the steering gear housing. Then check the condition of the steering rods. If the rods are bent, they must be straightened or replaced, and then the wheel alignment must be adjusted. If the jamming has not disappeared, you need to disassemble the steering mechanism and replace worn and damaged parts. Knocking in the steering has the same causes as the increased free play of the steering wheel. Their definition and methods of elimination have been discussed above.

Lubrication leakage from the steering gear housing can occur due to wear of the bipod or worm shaft seal, loosening of the crankcase cover, or damage to the gaskets. The defect is eliminated by replacing worn oil seals or damaged gaskets, by pulling the cover fastening bolts.

As you know, cruise control on the Ford Focus 3 (Kuga 2) comes as an additional option and is ordered separately when buying a car. But those who bought a car from the presence of an authorized dealer or simply from their hands may not despair and install cruise control on their own. The cruise control button hides two functions, both the cruise control itself - when the car moves at a set speed, and the speed limiter function when the car does not go above the set speed, for example, you are driving along a highway with many cameras, set the speed to 90 km / h and above this speed, the car will not go.

Cruise control on the Ford Focus 3 (Kuga 2) can be installed on any configuration, any engine and any gearbox. There are two ways to get cruise control:

1) buy a new steering wheel already with a cruise control button

2) install the cruise control button in the existing steering wheel

If method number one does not cause any difficulties - you just need to replace the steering wheel and activate cruise control, then method number two will seem quite complicated to many. Let's dwell on it in more detail.

To install the cruise control button on our own, we need:

1) Activate the cruise control function and the speed limiter function (ASDL). If you have a button without a speed limiter (for Ford Kuga II 2.5 liters), then only cruise control is activated.

2) which will crash into the steering wheel

3) wiring suitable for your car

4) two small self-tapping screws, thread sealant, stationery knife

Activating cruise control is best done at the very beginning, as the car needs some time to adapt. Then you need to remove the airbag.

Then, with a 24 key, we also remove the steering wheel (it is not necessary to remove the steering wheel, it’s just more convenient to cut the removed steering wheel). The steering wheel will return to the same position as before removal. So, we need to cut a hole in the steering wheel for the cruise control button.

For the convenience of fitting, it is better to disassemble the button into three parts, then gradually trim the steering wheel.

Be especially careful to do this at the bottom, as you can cut off the excess.

In the steering wheel itself there will be nests for self-tapping screws, rubber should also be removed from them. After successful cutting, we install the button, and put it on self-tapping screws lubricated with thread sealant.

We connect the wiring and install everything back and enjoy the new function in our car.

A useful feature on long trips is cruise control, Ford Kuga 2 configuration Trend is deprived of this function, like some Ford models. The article talks about what cruise control is, how to install it on a Ford Focus 3.

Why do you need cruise control in your car?

Cruise control (CC) is a device that is designed to maintain a constant speed when the car is moving without the participation of the driver. For safety, the CC is disabled if the driver presses the brake pedal, and it also does not work when driving at a speed below 40 km / h.

The QC is controlled using five buttons:

• On - turns on the function;
• Off - turns off the QC;
• Set \ Accel - fixes the speed at which the car moves, when pressed again, the speed increases by 2 km;
• Resume - is used to restore the settings after pressing the brake pedal;
• Coast - when you press the button, the speed decreases.

The design of the device consists of several parts:

• mini-computer - control controller;
• multiple sensors: throttle, auto speed, wheel speed, etc.;
• a drive connected to a throttle;
• buttons to control the system.

The principle of operation is that the throttle is controlled not by pressing the gas pedal, but by a servo. The driver sets how fast the car should move. The system, depending on the data received from the sensors, selects the optimal mode of operation of the power unit, maintaining the set mode of movement (the author of the video is Avto-Blogger.ru).

There are two cruise control systems: passive and adaptive. The second is distinguished by the presence of a radar or laser that controls the distance to the vehicle moving in front, keeping the required distance at a given speed.

Feature Installation and Activation Guide

If the QC system is installed from the factory, then it is integrated into the overall control system. If you want to install QC on your machine, you should buy a ready-made system and install it yourself.

Necessary tools and materials

To install the QC, you need to purchase cruise control buttons and wires. Cheaper to buy jumpers with connectors at the ends. You need 5 pieces.

From the tools you need to prepare:

• 2 screwdrivers: Phillips and flat;
• wire cutters;
• key on "8";
• electrical tape;
• sharp knife;
• fixing material - 2 screws.

Stages

To install and activate the cruise control function, follow these steps:

1. To prevent the steering wheel from locking, the key must be inserted into the ignition, but do not start.
2. Disconnect the battery first to prevent the alarm from going off. To do this, disconnect the positive battery.
3. For convenience, we depress the steering lock located at the bottom of the column, and pull the steering wheel towards ourselves.
4. Next, remove the casing and skirt of the steering column.
5. The next step is to remove the airbag. The pillow can be unfastened either through small oval holes or through large ones. If the option of oval holes is selected, then you need to insert a screwdriver into them all the way at an angle and press it against the steering column. The pillow will be unfastened on one side. We turn the steering wheel 180 degrees and unfasten the pillow on the other side.
6. We pull the unfastened pillow towards us. Then we disconnect 2 connectors: yellow - for the pillow, black-red - for the steering wheel.
7. Next, cut out the holes for the buttons on the steering wheel. Together with the holes for the buttons, you need to make holes for the screws using a tap.
8. Now install the buttons and fasten them with screws.
9. Next we need to connect the wiring. On the pillow connector, all the pins are numbered. We jump the purple wire to pin No. 15, green - No. 10 (solder to the black existing in the wiring), brown - No. 16, gray - No. 8, black - No. 7 (solder to brown from the wiring).
10. We isolate and wind the wires. This is best done near the left pillow button.
11. Next, we fasten the steering wheel, connect the connectors back, connect the battery.
12. We carefully snap the pillow after we check that the buttons work: they should light up and the corresponding inscription will appear on the tidy.
