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.
Normal Operation
The PCM sends a signal through circuit 151 (LB/BK) to the speed control switches, which passes through the clockspring. The return signal is sent to the PCM through circuit 848 (DG/OG) and the clockspring. When the brake pedal is applied the PCM deactivates the speed control if engaged.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- PCM not configured for speed control
- Speed control switches
- Digital transmission range (TR) sensor
- Brake warning indicator system
- Output shaft sensor (OSS) signal
- PCM
