Diagnostic Aids

The following are the correct switch resistance value ranges and the correct counts that are displayed in the Cruise parameter in the Body and Accessories / Cruise Control / IPM / Inputs data list, when each switch is pressed individually. If no switch is pressed the resistance value should be infinite.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect C2 of the multifunction switch.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the ignition 1 voltage circuit and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Important: The cruise control on/off switch must be turned ON in order to correctly view the set/coast resistance value with the DMM.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect C2 of the multifunction switch.
  3. With a DMM, measure the resistance of the cruise control switch between the remote radio control head accessory supply voltage circuit and the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit.
  4. Individually activate and hold each cruise control function switch while measuring the resistance value of each cruise control function switch.

Do the cruise control function switch resistance values measure between the specified values?

Off = O.L.

On = 7.8-8.6 K ohms

Resume = 2.7-3.0 K ohms

Set = 1.2-1.3 K ohms

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 5

Test the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit for the following:

    • An open
    • A short to ground
    • A high resistance

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
