Circuit/System Description
The cruise control switch contains an LED that illuminates to indicate the cruise control system has been switched ON. Voltage is applied through the ON/OFF switch to the LED when the switch is pressed. The body control module (BCM) provides the ground path for the LED through a dedicated LED control circuit. Pressing the switch again opens the switch and the lamp turns OFF.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The cruise switch is ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The BCM detects excessive current in the cruise control indicator signal circuit. |
| • | The above condition is present for greater than 5 seconds. |
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
| • | The cruise control system is disabled. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel controls switch - left.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the signal circuit terminal 9 and B+.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the steering wheel controls switch - left.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
