Circuit Description

The distance sensing cruise control (DSCC) module monitors the ignition 1 voltage circuit in order to determine if the voltage is within the normal operating range.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC C0800 Device Power 1 Circuit Voltage Below Threshold

This vehicle has DTCs which include DTC Symptoms. For more information on DTC symptoms, refer to DTC Symptom Description .

DTC Symptom

DTC Symptom Descriptor

03

Voltage Below Threshold

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • The ignition is in RUN.
    • The vehicle is moving at a speed greater than 40.2 km/h (25 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • The DSCC module detects that the ignition 1 voltage is less than 9.2  volts.
    • The above condition is present for 7 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • Loss of DSCC function
    • Cruise Not Ready indicator illuminates in the driver information center (DIC).

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The DTC becomes history when the fault is no longer present.
    • A History DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.
    • The DSCC module receives a clear code command from the scan tool.
