Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) supplies battery voltage to the cruise control switch. The cruise control switch signal is an input to the BCM. The BCM monitors the cruise control 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 switch signal circuit when a switch is applied.

Circuit/System Verification
Engine ON, while rotating the steering wheel to both steering stops, observe the scan tool Cruise Control Switch parameter while pressing each of the cruise control switches. The parameter should toggle between On, Off, Resume, Set, and Cancel as the applicable switch is pressed.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel controls switch - left.
- Ignition ON, test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- Test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and the signal circuit terminal 3.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the BCM.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the steering wheel control switch-left.
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. |
Component Testing
- Disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel controls switch - left.
- Cruise control switch ON, measure the resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 3 while individually activation and holding each cruise control function switch and compare the resistance reading to the values in the table below.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified resistance range, replace the steering wheel controls switch - left. |
Function Switch | Minimum Resistance Value | Maximum Resistance Value |
|---|---|---|
Off | O.L. | O.L. |
On | 6.6k Ohms | 7.0k Ohms |
- SET | 2.1k Ohms | 2.5k Ohms |
+ RES | 3.6k Ohms | 4.0k Ohms |
Cancel | 1.3k Ohms | 1.7k Ohms |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
