Cruise Control - Indicator Malfunctioning
CRUISE CONTROL INOPERATIVE/MALFUNCTIONINGDIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Perform the following in order to avoid a misdiagnosis:
- Inspect for proper operation of the brake lamps. Refer to Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation in Lighting Systems.
- EMI on the vehicle speed sensor signal circuit may cause erratic cruise control operation.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids.
CONDITIONS FOR ENABLING CRUISE CONTROL
- The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).
- The vehicle is not in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL or 1st gear.
- The system voltage is within 12 volts and 16 volts.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Steps 1-6:
Steps 7-15:
Steps 16-27:
Steps 28-29:
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
8. This step tests the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) supply voltage/stop lamp supply voltage circuit for an open or for a high resistance between the stop lamp switch and the throttle actuator control (TAC) module.
9. This step tests the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit for an open or for a high resistance.
10. This step tests the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit for an open or for a high resistance.
11. This step tests the ignition 3 voltage circuit for an open, for a show to ground, or for a high resistance.
29. DTCs will set in the powertrain control module (PCM) when you perform this table.
