1. Cruise Control Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The cruise control switch is an input to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to perform a cruise control function. The ECM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit when a switch is applied.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

The cruise control system is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Ignition ON, observe the Cruise On/Off switch parameter. The reading should be Off and change to On when the switch is pressed.
  2. Observe the Cruise Set/Coast Switch parameter. The reading should be Inactive and change to Active when the switch is pressed.
  3. Observe the Cruise Resume/Accel. Switch parameter. The reading should be Inactive and change to Active when the switch is pressed.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the cruise control switch connector.
  2. Ignition ON, Verify the cruise control switch parameters are Off or Inactive.
  3. If not the specified values test the switch signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the ECM.
  4. If all circuits test normal replace the cruise control switch.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
