* Vehicle Variations: Even within the same model year, there can be variations in cruise control systems. I don't have access to your specific car's details.
Instead of trying to fix it yourself, I recommend the following:
1. Consult your owner's manual: It may provide basic troubleshooting tips or information about your cruise control system.
2. Take it to a trusted mechanic: A qualified mechanic can diagnose the issue and perform the necessary repairs.
3. Look for a reputable repair shop: Search online for shops specializing in Nissan repairs or ask for recommendations from friends or family.
4. Consider a diagnostic scan: A mechanic can use a code reader to scan for any error codes related to the cruise control system, which can help pinpoint the problem.
Here are some general causes of cruise control issues that you can look for:
* Vacuum leak: Check for cracks or leaks in the vacuum hoses connected to the cruise control system.
* Electrical problems: Inspect the wiring, fuses, and relays related to the cruise control.

* Actuator issues: The actuator that controls the throttle cable could be malfunctioning.
Remember, safety is paramount! Please don't hesitate to get professional help if you're not comfortable working on your car's systems.
