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).

BPP DTC: The ECM detects that DTC P0703 is active.
Cancel: The ECM detects that the cruise control cancel switch has been activated.
Clutch: The ECM detects that the clutch pedal switch has been activated.
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).
Cruise S/W: The ECM detects that a cruise control software execution error is present.

Cruise Sw. Off: The ECM detects that the cruise On/Off switch was turned to OFF when the cruise control system was enabled.
D Whl Spd Low: The ECM detects the driven wheels are at a slower speed than the non-driven wheels.
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 that are available on the scan tool. An engine control module (ECM) is used on a vehicle that is equipped with a 2.2 L and 2.4 L engine and a powertrain control module (PCM) is used on a vehicle that is equipped with a 3.5 L engine.
BPP Circuit Signal: The scan tool displays Applied or Released. The status of the BBP circuit as monitored by the ECM.BPP Signal: The scan tool displays Applied or Released. The status of the BPP signal as monitored by the ECM.
Brake Switch: The scan tool displays Applied or Released. The ECM/PCM monitors the signal circuit of the stop lamp switch. An open switch is displayed as Released.
CPP Switch (If Equipped): The scan tool displays Applied or Released. The status of the CPP switch as monitored by the ECM.
Cruise Brake Switch: The scan tool displays Applied or Released. The ECM/PCM monitors the signal circuit of the cruise/brake switch. An open switch is displayed as Applied.
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 (Disengage History) for descriptions.
Cruise Engaged: The scan tool displays Yes or No. The ECM/PCM determines the current status of cruise control operation. An active cruise control system is displayed as Yes.
Cruise On/Off Switch: The scan tool displays On or Off. This is the state of the cruise control On/Off switch as detected by the ECM. An active switch is displayed as On.
Cruise Resume/Accel: The scan tool displays On or Off. The ECM/PCM monitors the signal circuit of the Resume/Accel. switch of the cruise control system. A closed switch is displayed as On. The cruise On/Off switch must be switched On in order to correctly view the Cruise Resume/Accel parameter.
Cruise Resume/Accel. Switch: The scan tool displays Active, Inactive, or Invalid. This is the state of the resume/accel switch as detected by the ECM. An active cruise resume/accel switch is displayed as Active.
Cruise Set/Coast: The scan tool displays On or Off. The ECM/PCM monitors the signal circuit of the Set/Coast switch of the cruise control system. A closed switch is displayed as On. The cruise On/Off switch must be switched On in order to correctly view the Cruise Set/Coast parameter.
Cruise Set/Coast Switch: The scan tool displays Active, Inactive, or Invalid. This is the state of the cruise set switch as detected by the ECM. An active cruise set switch is displayed as Active. The cruise control On/Off switch must be On in order to view the parameter correctly.
Cruise Switch: The scan tool displays On or Off. The ECM/PCM monitors the signal circuit of the On/Off switch of the cruise control system. A closed switch is displayed as On.
Engine Speed: The scan tool displays 0 to 9999 RPM. This is the engine RPM as monitored by the ECM/PCM. The ECM/PCM monitors the crankshaft position (CKP) signal circuit in order to determine the engine RPM.
