1999 GMC Forward Control 5.7 R, AutomaticSECTION Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Aztek and 2004 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check for the following conditions:

  • A faulty connection at the PCM. Inspect the harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and faulty terminal to wire connections. Use a corresponding mating terminal to test for proper terminal tension.
  • Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the Cruise Status display on the scan tool while moving the connectors and wiring harnesses related to the cruise control module. A change in the display will indicate the location of the malfunction.

If DTC P1554 cannot be duplicated, the information included in the Failure Records data can be useful in determining how many ignition cycles have passed since the DTC was last set.
