After I bought my 04 4runner I noticed that if I come to a complete stop after setting the cruise control, when I accelerate again and go above 35 mph i hit resume on my cruise control and it does not work. Its like it forgot what i set it at. Now if I just slow down and then hit resume it works just fine.. any one have any ideas on what could be the issue?
Cruise control not able to resume after a complete stop

Sounds like default behavior to me.
If you exit the freeway with your cruise set at 70 and stop in town to go in a store and leave your truck running, come out and get going again and hit the resume button by accident you wouldn't want it to bring you back up to 70. I don't have my manual handy or I'd check and see if anything is in there on this.
But honestly, it sounds like idiot proofing.

my parents have a 08 4runner and it does not behave this way. I mean i am not stopped for long. Even in the city lets say i am driving at 45 and i have my cruise set.. i stop at a red light and i cannot resume to 45 even if i pass the threshold where cruise control should be able to resume, which i think is 35 mph.. i have had several different vehicles and none of them behaved that way. i know its not normal.
my 99 corolla is like that. Pisses me off to no end. My 06 4Runner, however, is not. It will resume after a complete stop. I figured it was something that they changed over the years. I wonder if it's something broken on your truck, or if the 04 just wasn't programmed that way yet. Either way, I would try to get an answer from the dealer. Of course, that's assuming you can find a dealer that knows anything about Toyotas :ybrick:
ya true i hate going to the dealer... i can already see it.. they will look at me like i am crazy.. i am hoping maybe someone else with an 04 can give me some info on the matter... maybe its a setting that can be changed in the computer. but ya its really annoying and i have not seen anything on the internet about it.

No issue. That's the way it's designed. Read the manual.
I didn't like it since day one and looked into modding it when they changed it in '05. Can't be changed because there were other ECU changes that year. I still would like to find a way...
Maybe you can switch out the ECU for a newer one? From a crashed T4R? I know Pam's Auto will have some. Do a search for them, their prices are quite reasonable, and if you contact them through their site, they will email you AND call you within a few days (might have even been the next day, but I can't remember for sure). I never ended up buying anything from them, but they seemed like good people...

My '05 remembers cruise speed after a full stop and will resume just fine.
