Why is the cruise control not working on my car?

How does an adaptive cruise control system work?
Adaptive cruise control systems, sometimes called “smart” cruise, use radar or laser detection to maintain safe distances from vehicles ahead. Some adaptive cruise control systems merely reduce engine speed to maintain distance, but some of the newest adaptive cruise control systems can also engage the brakes to slow or stop the vehicle.
When does the CCM increase or decrease throttle body opening?
When vehicle speed increases or decreases (due to wind or hills, for example), the CCM decreases or increases throttle body opening accordingly. By modulating engine speed, the CCM can maintain your desired cruising speed on the highway.
Can a brake light disengage cruise control?
Brake Light Switch – As cruise control is automatically cancelled by depressing the brake, some vehicles may disengage cruise control if it cannot detect the brake light switch. Brake Lights – In some systems, cruise control is disabled when a brake light is blown.
