Section 8 of the service manual.

Cable Lash Initialization

With the elimination of the mechanical cruise cable adjuster, the tolerance slack-ups are intended to result in a cable that is too long. The extra cable length is then taken up upon execution of the Cable Lash Initialization routine. During the routine, the system calculates the number of "motor steps" the cable is pulled before the throttle plates are moved (a maximum of 200 motor steps equivalent to 1.2 inchs of 31 mm). This information is then stored in permanent memory.
The routine is then expalined in the following text in the manual.

You asked so I'll voice my opinion, I love my cruise control because it's great on looooooong rides, I also love it because it "works", some jobs (& this is one) should be done by the dealer.
