Circuit Description

The Distance Sensing Cruise Control (DSCC) module monitors the ignition 1 voltage circuit to make sure that the voltage stays within the normal operating range.

DTC Descriptor

The diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:

DTC C0800 Device Power 1 Circuit Voltage Below Threshold

The vehicle has DTCs including the DTC symptoms. For more information on DTC symptoms, refer to DTC Symptom Description.

DTC Symptom

DTC Symptom Descriptor

03

Voltage Below Threshold

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • The ignition switch is at RUN.
    • The vehicle drives faster than 40.2 km/h (25 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • The DSCC module detects that the ignition 1 voltage is below 9.2 volts.
    • It lasts for 7 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • DSCC fails.
    • Cruise Not Ready indicator illuminates in the driver information center (DIC).

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
    • The history DTC clears after 100 ignition cycles without failure.
    • The DSCC module receives a clear code command from the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
