Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The cruise control switch contains a 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 BCM provides the ground path for the LED through a dedicated control circuit. Pressing the switch again opens the switch and the lamp turns OFF.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Cruise Control Switch parameter. Verify the parameter changes each time the switch is pressed.

If the parameter does not change, refer to Cruise Control Malfunction Cruise Control Malfunction.

Circuit/System Testing

Important:
Refer to DTC B3794 B3794 before performing this diagnostic, if this code is set as current or history.


1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel control switch-left.

2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the low reference circuit terminal 7 and B+.

• 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.

3. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the steering wheel controls switch-left.

Component Testing

1. Disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel controls switch - left.

2. Cruise control switch ON, measure the resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 2 while individually activation and holding each cruise control function switch and compare the resistance reading to the values in the table below.

• If not within the specified resistance range, replace the turn steering wheel controls switch - left.
