The PCM has the ability to inhibit cruise control if conditions are detected which would make cruise control operation undesirable.
The PCM will interrupt the ground on the cruise inhibit circuit to request that cruise control be disengaged.
The ignition is On
The PCM is commanding the cruise control module to inhibit cruise control operation.
The PCM detects a cruise engaged signal from the cruise control module, while inhibiting cruise control operation.
The PCM stores the conditions present when the DTC set as Failure Records data only.
• | The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction free warm-up cycles. |
• | The PCM receives a clear code command from the scan tool. |
