Cruise Control Switch: Testing and Inspection

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SPEED CONTROL SWITCH

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.





1. Remove the speed control and Blue And Me (if equipped) switch pods from the steering wheel. Speed Control Switch - Removal.
2. Disconnect the steering wheel switch pod pigtail wire harness connector from the clockspring.
3. Using an ohmmeter, test the resistance between the terminals of the switch as shown in the Speed Control Switch Tests table.





4. If the switch fails any of the tests, replace the ineffective speed control switch pod as required.
