PCM disables cruise control.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
  1. Checks if cruise control feedback is a value that it should never be, even with servo fully released (0-2).
  2. Checks PCM and circuit to cruise control servo are okay. Voltage reading should be 4.6-5.1 volts.
  3. Checks circuit No. 399 for an open.
  4. Checks circuit No. 398 for an open.
  5. Checks circuit No. 398 for short to ground. If wire is okay, PCM is open internally.
  6. Checks if cruise control servo is operating normally. If feedback is greater than 30, servo is operating correctly.
