Pinpoint Test H: The Speed Control Switch Is Inoperative

2009 Ford Ranger 2D Pickup, 2.3 D, AutomaticSECTION Pinpoint Test H: The Speed Control Switch Is Inoperative
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Normal Operation 

The speed control actuator sends a signal through circuit VES10 (WH) to the speed control switches, which passes through the clockspring. The signal is sent back through the clockspring to circuit RES08 (GN/BN).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

  • Speed control switch
  • Speed control actuator

PINPOINT TEST H: THE SPEED CONTROL SWITCH IS INOPERATIVE 

  1. H1 CHECK THE SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES 
    • Disconnect: Speed Control Actuator C122
    • Measure the resistance between the speed control actuator C122-5, circuit VES10 (WH), harness side and the speed control actuator C122-6, circuit RES08 (GN/BN), harness side while pressing the speed control switches as follows:
      Switch Position Resistance Value (in Ohms)
      OFF Less than 5
      SET/ACCEL 646-704
      CST 114-126
      RSM 2,090-2,310
      No switch pressed Greater than 10,000
    • Are the speed control switch resistance values OK?  
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new speed control actuator. REFER to Speed Control Actuator . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : INSTALL a new speed control switch. REFER to Speed Control Switch . TEST the system for normal operation.
