Diagnostic Test

  1. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS ACTIVE 
    NOTE: This DTC is a two trip fault. If the scan tool indicates a one trip failure, the possible cause may have been the customer pressing both switches simultaneously. Test drive the vehicle and activate the Speed Control system. If the DTC matures to an active fault a repair is necessary.
    NOTE: Use the following table as a reference when diagnosing speed control switch voltage DTCs. Compare the voltage readings displayed on the scan tool with the values in the table.
    - Switch 1 voltage (V71)  Switch 2 voltage (V72) 
    On/Off - Min. 0.5882 3.5294
    On/Off - Max. 1.1373 3.9216
    Set - Min. 3.1569 1.1765
    Set - Max. 3.5686 1.5686
    Cancel - Min. 1.5882 2.8431
    Cancel - Max. 2.0000 3.2549
    Accel - Min. 3.8824 2.0392
    Accel - Max. 4.1765 2.4706
    1. Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.
      WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
