Circuit Description
The cruise control resume/accel switch is an input to the throttle actuator control (TAC) module. The TAC module uses the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to accelerate the set vehicle speed or to resume the Cruise Control System. The TAC module detects a voltage signal on the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit when the switch is applied. The TAC module sends a serial data signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) via the universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) serial data circuit.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0567 Cruise Control Resume Switch Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The cruise control switch is ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM receives a serial data signal from the TAC module indicating that voltage is present on the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit for greater than 90 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
| • | The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this information in the Failure Records. |
| • | The Cruise Control System is disabled. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A last test failed, or the current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if failures are not reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTC. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Ensure that the resume/accel switch is not stuck or sticking in the engaged position. |
| • | For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections . |
