Circuit Description
The cruise control switch is an input to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit in order to detect when a cruise control function has been requested. The ECM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit when a cruise control function switch is activated, with each switch having a different predetermined voltage value.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The cruise control ON/OFF switch is ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
This DTC sets when the ECM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit for greater than 1.5 seconds.
The ECM runs this diagnostic every 0.05 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The ECM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
| • | The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records. |
| • | The cruise control system 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 DTC. |
Diagnostic Aids
For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

1 | Did you perform the Cruise Control Diagnostic System Check? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 |
Does the voltage measure at the specified value? | B+ | Go to Step 3 | Go to Step 7 |
3 |
Important: The cruise control ON/OFF switch must be turned ON to correctly view the set/coast switch and the resume/accel switch resistance values with the DMM.
Do the cruise control function switch resistance values measure between the specified values? | Off = O.L. On = 7.8 K ohms - 8.6 K ohms Resume = 2.7 K ohms - 3.0 K ohms Set = 1.2 K ohms - 1.3 K ohms | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 5 |
4 | Test the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit for a high resistance, for a short to voltage, or for a short to ground between the cruise control switch and the ECM. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 6 |
5 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the cruise control switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 8 |
6 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the engine control module (ECM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 9 |
7 | Repair the high resistance in the ignition 1 voltage circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
8 | Replace the cruise control switch. Refer to Turn Signal Multifunction Switch Replacement in Steering Wheel and Column. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
9 |
Important: Program the replacement ECM. Replace the ECM. Refer to Engine Control Module Replacement in Engine Controls - 3.6L (LY7). Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
