Pinpoint Test V: The Cruise Control Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

The Instrument Cluster (IC) receives the cruise control signal from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. When the cruise control is engaged, the PCM sends a message to the IC to illuminate the cruise control indicator. If the cruise control message is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IC sets DTC U0101 in continuous memory and defaults the cruise control indicator off.

NOTE: If DTC U0101 is set in the IC, other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer, tachometer or odometer.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM
- IC
