DTC Descriptor

DTC P0575: Cruise Control Switch Signal Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information

Important: Always perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

Circuit/System Description

When a cruise control function switch is applied, the body control module (BCM) detects a predetermined voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit. The BCM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the engine control module (ECM) indicating that the function has been requested.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • The ECM receives an invalid cruise control switch status GMLAN serial data message from the BCM.
    • This diagnostic runs continuously.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The Cruise Control System is disabled.
    • The ECM stores the DTC information into memory when this diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
    • The ECM records the operating conditions at the time that this diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records.
    • All of the scan tool cruise control function switch parameters are set to Off.

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 the scan tool in order to clear the DTC.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: Fix any Cruise Control System related DTCs before using this diagnostic.

Important: This DTC may be stored as a history DTC without affecting the operation of the BCM. Do not replace the BCM if this DTC is stored only as a history DTC and is not retrieved as a current DTC.

Using a scan tool, is DTC P0575 current in the ECM?

If DTC P0575 is current, replace the BCM.
If DTC P0575 is not current, the system is OK.

Repair Instructions

Important: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
