Diagnostic Aids

The following are the correct switch resistance value range and readings displayed as the cruise control parameters when the switches are pressed one by one in the Body and Accessory/Cruise Control/IPM/Input Data List. If no switch is pressed, the resistance value should be infinite.

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
  2. Disable the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling.
  3. Remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Steering Wheel Inflatable Restraint Module Replacement.
  4. Disconnect C277.
  5. Turn on the ignition switch, and do not start the engine.
  6. Connect a test lamp between the remote radio control head accessory supply voltage circuit and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

  1. Turn OFF the ignition switch.
  2. With a DMM, measure the resistance between the remote radio control head accessory supply voltage circuit and the adaptive cruise control (ACC) gap adjustment/radio control signal circuit.
  3. While measuring the resistance, press and hold the Mute/Gap (+) steering wheel control switch.

Is the resistance measured within the specified value?

Off = O.L.

On = 7.8-8.6K Ω

Resume = 2.7-3.0K Ω

Set = 1.2-1.3K Ω

Test the ACC gap adjustment/radio control signal circuit between C277 and the instrument panel module (IPM) for the following:

    • Short to GND
    • An open circuit
    • An open circuit
    • High resistance
        Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs.

Did you find and correct the condition?
