Diagnostic Instructions

    â€¢ Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
    â€¢ Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    â€¢  Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors the cruise control indicator switch. When the cruise on/off switch is pressed ON, the cruise control switch is closed and the signal circuit is low. When the cruise on/off switch is pressed OFF, the cruise control switch is open and the signal circuit is high.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the cruise control switch assembly.
  2. Connect a fused jumper between the voltage signal circuit and the low reference circuit.
  3. Ignition ON, observe the Cruise On/Off Switch parameter.
  4. ⇒If the Cruise On/Off Switch parameter displays ON, replace the cruise control switch assembly.
    ⇒If the Cruise On/Off Switch parameter displays Off, test the voltage signal circuit and the low reference circuit for an open, or for a high resistance.
    ⇒If all circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
