The cruise control switch is an input to the body control module (BCM). The BCM monitors the cruise control on/off, set/coast, resume/accelerate and cancel switches via the cruise control switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to perform a cruise control function. The BCM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit when a switch is applied. The BCM sends a serial data message to the ECM indicating the status of the cruise control switches.

Engine ON, observe the scan tool Cruise Control Switch parameter while pressing each of the cruise control switches. The parameter should toggle between On, Off, Resume and Set as the applicable switch is pressed.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the BCM.
2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the BCM F9 fuse B+ circuit terminal 3 and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition OFF, connect the X3 harness connector at the BCM.
4. Disconnect the harness connector at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
5. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 6 and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified value, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

6. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 6 and the signal circuit terminal 5.

⇒	If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

7. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between B+ and the signal circuit terminal 5.

⇒	If the test lamp illuminates, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit test normal, replace the BCM.

8. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.

1. Disconnect the harness connector at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
2. Cruise control switch ON, measure the resistance between terminal 5 and terminal 6 while individually activating and holding each cruise control function switch and compare the resistance reading to the values in the table below.

⇒	If not within the specified resistance range, replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
