Cruise control on the way

  • 91-earlier is OBD0.
    OBD1 Started in 92 and ran until 95.
    OBD2a started in 96.

    I would suggest you try to get as much of the accord cruise stuff as you can, especially whatever mechanism brings the wiring from the buttons on the wheel to the steering shaft. There may be some sort of loom or something there, since the whole wheel has to be able to rotate like 2.75 turns or something like that without twisting up or ripping out the wires.

    I would also look at 90-93 Integras for parts. they share a lot of stuff with the Civic.

    I actually have the wagon that this thread was started for and hondawagonists ran into a problem because all of the cruise control items are from an OBD0 civic and the car is OBD1 now. This summer we're going to try a different speed sensor but he could never get it to work. Any ideas on that would be appreciated.

    Heads up, try 92-93 Accord for parts. Pretty much the same car as the 90-91 Accord, but they switched to OBD1. The parts may be more compatible. I'm really not sure how it was all wired up, if it got a speed signal from the ECU or the VSS or the dash or what. Research on a junk car! And download a shop manual so you can figure out which wires are going where.

    I'm really interested to see if you can get this to work!
  • At the risk of repeating myself, save yourself a LOT of work, get an aftermarket CC. SO MUCH EASIER to install. Mine work perfectly, about a 4 hour install, no replacing the pedal assembly, no de-looming etc.

    it's already 90% installed anyway, plus its more OEM.
  • im going with piperotto on this one. for some strange reason i love oem quality stuff and not big on aftermarket gadgetry. maybe its the rarity of seeing the combo each person comes up with. plus it doesnt look out of place (not saying your does cause ive never seen it) like alot of them i have seen. and it takes dedication and love to oem up these old badasses lol...

    Here's the one I put on my CRX. It's still working perfectly.

    I have no doubt it will also work on the wagon. I can't identify the one that came on my '88 RT4WD, but it is very similar in appearance.

    Apparently SCS Frigette is out of business, so supplies are limited.

    That's funny.. I bought a CRX that had that same kit installed.. I was thinking of pulling it.. But, I let it go with the car when I sold it..
