Cruise Control Indicator Malfunction

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions)provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the cruise control engaged indicator based on serial data messages received from the engine control module (ECM) or the powertrain control module (PCM). The indicator is commanded ON when the cruise control system is controlling vehicle speed, and turned OFF with the system disengaged.
