Circuit Description

The cruise Set/Coast switch is an input to the fuel control portion of the powertrain control module (PCM). These inputs allow the PCM to control and hold a requested speed. A cruise Set/Coast switch sends an ignition voltage signal to the PCM when the Set/Coast switch is ON.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The cruise switch is OFF.
    • The ignition voltage on the set switch signal circuit.

or

    • The cruise switch is ON.
    • The set switch is ON for longer than 25.5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
    • The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information is stored in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission related diagnostic does not report any failures.
    • The scan tool Clear Info function was used.

Diagnostic Aids

If the Set/Coast switch is stuck in the ON position or the driver is holding the Set/Coast switch ON for longer than 25.5 seconds, DTC P0568 will set. DTC P0568 only checks the signal circuit for a short to voltage.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:

  1. This step determines if the signal circuit is shorted to voltage.

    2.

  2. This step determines if the PCM or the switch is malfunctioning.
