Circuit Description

The cruise set/coast switch is an input to the fuel control portion of the PCM. These inputs allow the PCM to control and hold a requested speed. A cruise set/coast switch sends an ignition voltage signal to the PCM when the set/coast switch is ON.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The cruise set/coast switch is OFF.

or

The cruise set/coast switch is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ignition voltage is on the set/coast switch signal circuit.

or

The set/coast switch is ON for longer than 25.5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
    • The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information is stored in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

    • A History DTC will clear after forty consecutive engine warm up cycles, if this or any other emmision related diagnosic does not report any failures.
    • Use of a scan tool will clear the DTC codes.

Diagnostic Aids

If the set/coast switch is stuck in the ON position or the driver is holding the set/coast switch ON for longer than 25.5 seconds, DTC P0568 will set. DTC P0568 only checks the signal circuit for a short to voltage.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.
