P0568

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The cruise control Set/Coast switch is an input to the throttle actuator control (TAC) module. The cruise control information is supplied to the PCM via serial data. This input allows the PCM and TAC module to control and hold a requested speed. The cruise control Set/Coast switch sends a ignition positive voltage signal to the TAC module when the momentary switch is applied. This DTC sets if the TAC module senses a voltage on the Set/Coast switch signal circuit when the voltage is not expected.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The Cruise switch is ON.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The TAC module detects the Set/Coast switch is ON for longer than 90 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 is disabled.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/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 MIL/DTC.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

IMPORTANT:
^ Remove any debris from the TAC module connector surfaces before servicing the TAC module. Inspect the TAC module connector gaskets when diagnosing/replacing the module. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly.
^ For any test that requires probing the PCM or a component harness connector, use a connector test adapter. Using a connector test adapter prevents damage to the harness/component terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Diagnostic Aids.
^ Inspect for a set/coast switch stuck in the engaged position or the signal circuit is shorted to voltage.
^ For an intermittent, refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids.
