P0564



DTC P0564 (3.8L)

Circuit Description

Caution: Refer to Restraint System Service Precautions.

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

The cruise control switch is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM monitors the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit in order to detect when a cruise control function has been requested. The PCM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit when a cruise control function switch is activated, with each switch having a different predetermined voltage value.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0564 Cruise Control Multifunction Switch Circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON.
* The cruise control on/off switch is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

This DTC sets when the PCM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit for greater than 1.5 seconds.

The PCM runs this diagnostic every 0.05 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The PCM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
* The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
* The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this information in the Failure Records.
* The Cruise Control System is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A last test failed, or the current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
* A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if failures are not reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
* Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

With a scan tool, observe the cruise control function switch parameters, in the Body and Accessories, Cruise Control data list, while rotating the steering wheel to both steering stops and individually activating each cruise control function switch separately. This will help eliminate the possibility of an internally shorted inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil.

For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
