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/System Testing
Cruise Control Set/Coast/Resume/Accelerate Switch Signal
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the component: K9 Body Control Module
- Disconnect the component: Cruise Control Switch Assembly
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points:
- Steering Wheel Resistor Ladder Low Reference circuit at the switch harness connector and ground.
- Cruise Control Set/Coast/Resume/Accelerate Switch Signal circuit at the switch harness connector and ground.
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points:
- Steering Wheel Resistor Ladder Low Reference circuit at the switch harness connector and ground.
- Cruise Control Set/Coast/Resume/Accelerate Switch Signal circuit at the switch harness connector and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
- Steering Wheel Resistor Ladder Low Reference circuit at the switch harness connector and the other end of the circuit.
- Cruise Control Set/Coast/Resume/Accelerate Switch Signal circuit at the switch harness connector and the other end of the circuit.
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms
- Test or replace the component: Cruise Control Switch Assembly
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Verify the DTC does not set.
- If the DTC sets
Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module
- Go to next step: If the DTC is not set
- If the DTC sets
- All OK.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
