Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit Description
The cruise control set/coast switch is an input to the throttle actuator control (TAC) module. The TAC module uses the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to set the vehicle speed or to decelerate the vehicle speed. The TAC module detects a voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit when the switch is applied. The TAC module sends a serial data signal to the PCM via the UART serial data circuit. This DTC sets if the PCM receives a serial data signal from the TAC module indicating that voltage is present on the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit for longer than 90 seconds.
