Condition

Some owners may comment, that the RPM is limited to 3,000 RPM and the cruise control will not function.

Cause

Circuit 1786 ORN/BLK from the transmission Park/Neutral Start Back-Up (NSBU) switch (pin A of the 7 pin connector) to the PCM (C1 connector pin 34) may be shorted to ground or the NSBU may not be switching correctly and grounding the circuit internally.

Correction

Using Service Manual procedures, repair any short to ground on the 1786 circuit or replace the Park/Neutral Start Back-Up Switch (NSBU) if internally shorted to ground.

Important: The PCM schematic in SI2000 is currently incorrect. Follow the schematic in this bulletin. SI2000 will be revised in the near future.
