Normal Operation
The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a signal through circuit 7-PG24 (YE/BU) to the speed control switch, which passes through the clockspring. The return signal is sent through circuit 31S-PG24 (BK/OG)/31S-PG1 (BK/BU) and the clockspring.

Possible Causes
- Circuit 7-PG24 (YE/BU) open, short to voltage, or short to ground
- Circuit 31S-PG1 (BK/BU) open, short to voltage, or short to ground
- Circuit 31S-PG24 (BK/OG) open, short to voltage, or short to ground
- Clockspring
- PCM
- Speed control switch
