Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

The cruise control switch is an input to the body control module (BCM). The BCM monitors the cruise control on/off, set/coast, and resume/accelerate switch signal circuits in order to detect when a cruise control function switch has been activated. The BCM detects a predetermined voltage signal when a cruise control function switch is applied, with each switch having a different voltage value. The BCM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the engine control module (ECM) / powertrain control module (PCM) indicating the status of the cruise control switches.

Caution: Refer to SIR Caution in the Preface section.

Disable the inflatable restraint steering wheel module when performing this diagnostic table. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling .

In order to avoid misdiagnosis, inspect for the following:

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the speed sensor signal circuit may cause erratic cruise control operation.

For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .

Scan Tool Data List

1. Verify with a scan tool that the Cruise Control Switch parameter in the BCM do not match with the depressed cruise control switch, as the steering wheel is turned.

⇒	If the displayed switch positions in the Cruise Control Switch parameter match with each depressed switch accordingly, replace the ECM (non 2.0L) / PCM (2.0L).

Caution: Refer to SIR Caution in the Preface section.

Disable the inflatable restraint steering wheel module when performing this diagnostic. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling .

1. Ignition OFF, remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement .
2. Disconnect the harness connector of the cruise control on/off switch.
3. Ignition ON, measure for 10 volts or greater at the cruise control supply voltage circuit.

⇒	If less than 10 volts, check for an open/high resistance or for a short to ground on the cruise control supply voltage circuit.

4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the set/cruise, resume/accelerate switch. Test for an open/high resistance, a short to ground, or a short to voltage in the cruise control switch signal circuit between the BCM and the set/cruise, resume/accelerate switch.
5. Test for an open/high resistance, a short to ground or a short to voltage in the cruise control switch signal circuit between the cruise control on/off switch and the set/cruise, resume/accelerate switch.
6. Test the component. If the circuits and the component tests are normal, replace the BCM.

Caution: Refer to SIR Caution in the Preface section.

Disable the inflatable restraint steering wheel module when performing this diagnostic. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling .

1. Ignition OFF, remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement .
2. Disconnect the harness connector at the cruise control on/off switch.
3. Verify that there is continuity between the voltage supply circuit and the cruise control switch signal circuit when switched ON, and open when switched OFF.

⇒	If the resistance does not show continuity when switched ON and open when switched OFF, replace the cruise control on/off switch assembly.

4. Disconnect the harness connector at the cruise control set/cruise, resume/accelerate switch assembly.
5. Cruise control switch ON, measure the resistance between terminals 7 and 6 (UK3) or 4 and 3 (without UK3) at the cruise control switch side of the connector. Individually activate and hold each cruise control function switch and compare the resistance reading to the values on the schematic for the - SET and the + RES.

⇒	If any of the resistance measurements for the - SET and + RES are not within the listed resistance values, replace the cruise control set/cruise, resume/accelerate switch assembly.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
