Cruise-On Indicator Lamp

SYSTEM OPERATION
The cruise-on indicator lamp gives an indication when the vehicle speed control system is turned on, even when the system is not currently engaged. The lamp is controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry based upon a message received from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus.

The PCM uses an input from the analog resistor- multiplexed vehicle speed control switches in the steering wheel to decide whether to turn the lamp on or off. The PCM then sends the proper message to the instrument cluster on the CCD data bus.
