Test C: DTC P0579 Or DTC P0581 - Speed Control Switch Circuit Failure

PINPOINT TEST C: DTC P0579 OR DTC P0581 - SPEED CONTROL SWITCH CIRCUIT FAILURE

C1:

C2-C4:

C4-C6:

C6-C8:

C8-C10:

Normal Operation
The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a signal through circuit VES10 (WH) to the speed control switch, which passes through the clockspring. The return signal is sent to the PCM through circuit RES08 (GN/BN) and the clockspring.

DTC P0579 - sets when the speed control switch circuits are open, shorted to voltage or shorted to ground.

DTC P0581 - sets when the speed control switch circuits are shorted to voltage or open.

Possible Causes
- Circuit RES08 (GN/BN) open or short to voltage
- Circuit VES10 (WH) open, short to voltage or ground
- Clockspring
- Speed control switch
- PCM
