Scan Tool Data Definitions Disengage History
One of the following conditions must be present in order for a disengagement parameter to appear:
| • | The Cruise Control System is active and disengagement is requested. |
| • | The engagement of the Cruise Control System is requested while a fault is present. |
APP Override: The ECM detects that the accelerator pedal overrides the set vehicle speed for approximately 60 seconds.
Brake: The ECM detects that the stop lamps have been activated according to the brake pedal position (BPP) sensor / stop lamp switch input from the platform module. Also, the brake pedal being applied according to the brake fluid pressure sensor input can also set this disengagement reason with vehicles equipped with the vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES).

Coast Disengage: When the ECM detects that the cruise set/coast signal is active and the throttle blade fully closes the cruise control system will disengage until the ECM detects that the set/coast signal is inactive. The cruise control system will then engage and set with the new vehicle speed.
Coast Speed Low: The ECM detects that the Set/Coast switch is activated until the vehicle speed is below 37 km/h (23 mph).

D Whl Spd Hi: The ECM detects the driven wheels are at a faster speed than the non-driven wheels.
Decel Rate: The ECM detects that the vehicle deceleration is greater than the calibrated cruise control threshold.
DLC Override: The ECM detects that a DLC override has occurred.
DTC Set: The ECM detects that a DTC has been set which affects the cruise control operation.
ECM Inhibit: The ECM detects a RAM corruption associated to the cruise control system.
ECT Overtemp: The ECM detects the engine temperature is above the calibrated threshold.
Engine Run Time: The ECM detects that the cruise control system has been requested and the engine run time counter is not active.
Engine Speed: The ECM detects that the engine speed is less than or greater than a calibrated RPM.
First Gear: While the cruise control system is active, the ECM detects that the transmission is in Drive 1.
High Speed: The ECM detects that the vehicle speed is greater than the calibrated amount.
High Voltage: The ECM detects that the ignition voltage is above 16 volts.
Illegal Mode: The ECM detects that the acceleration mode is active without the activation of the Accel. switch.
Lost Fwd Gear: The ECM detects that transmission is in Neutral, Reverse or Park.
Low Speed: The ECM detects that the vehicle speed is less than 37 km/h (23 mph) while the cruise control system was enabled.
Low Voltage: The ECM detects that the ignition voltage is below 9 volts.
Memory DTC: The ECM detects an internal memory fault.
MPH Limit: The ECM detects the vehicle is over speed and that the fuel shutoff has been activated.
None: This parameter is displayed when a new ECM has been installed.
Over Set Speed: The ECM detects the current vehicle speed is greater than the set vehicle speed by more than a calibrated amount.
Park Brake: ECM detects the park brake switch is active.
Pedal Initialize: The ECM detects that a stop lamp pedal activation had not occurred before the cruise control system was requested.
PTO Active: The ECM detects power take off is active.
RPM Limit: The ECM detects the engine is over speed and that the fuel shutoff has been activated.
S/C On - Speed High: The ECM detects the Set/Coast switch is briefly applied while the current vehicle speed is greater than the set vehicle speed by more than a calibrated amount.
Simul SC/RA Sw: The ECM detects that the Set/Coast switch and the Resume/Accel switch are active at the same time.
Sw Invalid: The ECM detects the analog cruise control switch input is out of the normal voltage range.
TAC Inhibit: The ECM detects a fault within the throttle actuator control (TAC) system.
TCS: The ECM detects that the traction control system had been activated. It is also possible that a tire with low air pressure can also set this disengagement reason.
Trans. DTC: The ECM detects a transmission gear fault.
Under Set Speed: The ECM detects that the vehicle speed is less than the cruise memory speed by more than a calibrated amount.
VSES: The ECM detects that the vehicle stability enhancement system had been activated.
Scan Tool Data Definitions Cruise Control
The Scan Tool Data Definitions contains a brief description of all cruise control related parameters available on the scan tool.
BPP Circuit Signal: The scan tool displays Applied or Released. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the brake pedal position (BPP) circuit signal. The engine control module (ECM) receives a GMLAN serial data message from the EBCM indicating the status of the BPP circuit signal.BPP Signal: The scan tool displays Applied, Released or Invalid. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the status of the brake pedal position (BPP) sensor. The ECM receives a GMLAN serial data message from the EBCM indicating the status of the BPP signal.
Cruise Control Active: The scan tool displays Yes or No. The ECM determines the current status of cruise control operation. An active cruise control system is displayed as Yes.
Cruise Control Switch: The scan tool displays On, Off, Set, Resume or Error. The BCM monitors the signal circuit of the cruise control switch.
Cruise Disengage (1 - 8) History: The scan tool displays the last 8 reasons why the cruise control system was disengaged. Refer to the Scan Tool Data Definitions (Disengaged History) for descriptions.
Cruise Inhibited: The scan tool displays Yes or No. The ECM determines when the conditions for inhibiting the cruise control system exists. An inhibited cruise control system is displayed as Yes.
Cruise Inhibit Reason: The scan tool displays the reason that the cruise control is inhibited as detected by the ECM.
Cruise On/Off Switch: The scan tool displays On or Off. The ECM monitors the signal circuit of the cruise control switch. A closed switch is displayed as On.
Cruise Resume/Accel. Switch: The scan tool displays On or Off. The ECM the monitors the cruise control switch signal circuit. A closed switch is displayed as On. The cruise control On/Off switch must be switched On in order to correctly view the Cruise Resume/Accel. Switch parameter. The BCM sends a GMLAN message to the ECM indicating the status of the resume/accel switch.
Cruise Resume/Accel. Switch: The scan tool displays Active, Inactive or Invalid. The BCM the monitors the cruise control switch signal circuit. A closed switch is displayed as On. The cruise control On/Off switch must be switched On in order to correctly view the Cruise Resume/Accel. Switch parameter. The BCM sends a GMLAN message to the ECM indicating the status of the cruise resume/accel switch.

The cruise control On/Off switch must be switched On in order to correctly view the Cruise Set/Coast Switch parameter. The BCM sends a GMLAN message to the ECM indicating the status of the cruise set/coast switch.
Cruise Set/Coast Switch: The scan tool displays Active, Inactive or Invalid. The BCM the monitors the cruise control switch signal circuit. A closed switch is displayed as On. The cruise control On/Off switch must be switched On in order to correctly view the Cruise Set/Coast Switch parameter. The BCM sends a GMLAN message to the ECM indicating the status of the cruise set/coast switch.
Engine Speed: The scan tool displays 0 to 9,999 RPM. The ECM monitors the crankshaft position (CKP) signal circuit in order to determine the engine RPM.
