Circuit Description
The cruise control switch is an input to the body control module (BCM). The BCM monitors the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to perform a cruise control function. The BCM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit when a switch is applied.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B3794 Cruise Control Function Request Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The cruise switch is ON. |
| • | The ignition is ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The BCM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit. |
| • | The above condition is present for 0.5 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The BCM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
| • | The Cruise Control System is disabled. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC becomes history when the fault is no longer present. |
| • | A History DTC clears after 100 malfunction free ignition cycles. |
| • | The BCM receives a clear code command from the scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
For an intermittent, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .

Important: The cruise control on/off switch must be turned ON in order to correctly view the set/coast switch resistance values with the DMM.
Do the cruise control function switch resistance values measure between the specified values? | Off = O.L. On = 7.8 K-8.6 K Resume = 2.7 K-3.0 K Set = 1.2 K-1.3 K | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 11 |
8 | Test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 10 |
9 | Test the cruise control set/coast and resume/accel switch signal circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 12 |
10 | Test the cruise control set/coast and resume/accel switch signal circuit for a high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 12 |
11 | Inspect for poor connections at C1 of the multifunction switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 13 |
12 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the BCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 14 |
13 | Replace the cruise control switch. Refer to Turn Signal Multifunction Switch Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 15 | -- |
14 | Replace the BCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 15 | -- |
15 |
Does the DTC reset? | -- | Go to Step 2 | System OK |
