Circuit Description

This DTC is used to monitor the voltage level available to the cruise control module at terminal 9 (BLK/YEL wire).

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following:

    • Open or high resistance in the BLK/YEL wire.
    • Open, high resistance or low voltage in the power distribution to the ECU-IG fuse in junction block 2.
    • Open or high resistance in the WHT/BLK wire.
    • Open or high resistance in the ground distribution to splice pack 250/G203.
    • Vehicle charging system for poor performance.
    • Faulty cruise control module.

An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the insulation. Inspect the following harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken lock, improperly formed or damaged terminals or for poor terminal-to-wire connection before replacing the suspect component:

    • Cruise control module connector
    • Junction block 2 C4
    • Splice pack 250
    • Ignition switch
