  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector C3 at the BCM.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the cruise control cancel signal circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the cruise control cancel signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the cruise control switch assembly.
  3. Ignition ON, cruise control switch ON. While depressing the CANCEL switch, measure for 10 volts or greater between the cruise control cancel signal circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If less than 10 volts, test the cruise control cancel signal circuit and the cruise control supply voltage circuit for an open/high resistance, or a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the cruise control switch assembly.
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector C3 at the BCM. Disconnect the harness connector at the cruise control switch assembly.
  5. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the cruise control cancel signal circuit terminal 3.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the cruise control cancel signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  6. Ignition OFF, test for an open/high resistance, a short to ground, or a short to voltage in the cruise control switch signal circuit.
    • If the circuit tests normal, test the component. If the circuits and the component tests are normal, replace the ECM.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
