Circuit/System Description
The cruise control switch contains an LED that illuminates to indicate the cruise control system has been switched ON. Voltage is applied through the ON/OFF switch to the LED when the switch is pressed. The body control module (BCM) provides the ground path for the LED through a dedicated LED control circuit. Pressing the switch again opens the switch and the lamp turns OFF.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the cruise control indicator while applying the cruise ON/OFF switch. The indicator should turn ON and OFF accordingly with the applied switch.
Circuit/System Testing
Important: Refer to DTC B3794 before performing this diagnostic, if this code is set as current or history.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel control switch-left.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the low reference circuit terminal 9 and B+.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the steering wheel controls switch-left.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
