Circuit Description

The cruise set/coast switch is an input to the fuel control portion of the PCM. These inputs allow the PCM to control and hold a requested speed. The cruise set/coast switch sends an ignition voltage signal to the PCM when the set/coast switch is ON.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The PCM performs this DTC diagnostic continuously.
    • The ignition switch in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Ignition voltage on set/coast request signal circuit when the cruise control ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.

or

    • Set/Coast request switch ON for longer than 25.5 seconds when the Cruise Control ON/OFF switch in the ON position.
    • All of the diagnostic set conditions met for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The PCM disallows all cruise control inputs.
    • TCC shift schedules may be affected.
    • The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
    • The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information stores in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • A History DTC clears after forty consecutive warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission related diagnostic does not report any failures
    • The use of a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

If the set/coast switch is stuck in the ON position or the driver is holding the set/coast switch ON for longer than 25.5 seconds, DTC P0568 will set. DTC P0568 only checks the signal circuit for a short to voltage.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.

  1. This step determines if the signal circuit is shorted to voltage.

    2.
