Cruise Control Inoperative/Malfunctioning
CRUISE CONTROL INOPERATIVE/MALFUNCTIONING
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Perform the following in order to avoid a misdiagnosis:
- Inspect for proper operation of the brake lamps.
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the vehicle speed sensor signal circuit may cause erratic cruise control operation.
For an intermittent condition, refer to Diagnostic Aids for Circuit Testing and Wiring Repair procedures.
CONDITIONS FOR ENABLING CRUISE CONTROL
- The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).
- The vehicle is not in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or 1st gear.
- The system voltage is within 9-16 volts.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Steps 1 - 10:
Steps 11 - 23:
Steps 24 - 29:
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
8. This step tests the center high mount stop lamp (CHMSL) supply voltage/stop lamp supply voltage circuit for an open or for a high resistance between the stop lamp switch and the throttle actuator control (TAC) module.
9. This step tests the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit for an open or for a high resistance.
10. This step tests the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit for an open or for a high resistance.
11. This step tests the ignition 3 voltage circuit for an open, for a short to ground, or for a high resistance.
29. DTCs will set in the powertrain control module (PCM) when you perform this table.
