P0567

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

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The cruise control switch is ON.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The TAC module detects the Resume/Accel 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 resume/accel switch stuck in the engage position or the signal circuit is shorted to voltage.
^ For an intermittent, refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-9:

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. This step determines if condition is present.
3. This step determines if the switch is at fault.
4. This steps determines if the circuit is shorted to a voltage.
