Pinpoint Test A: The Speed Control Is Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. A1 CHECK FOR DTCs 
    • Review the recorded DTCs from the PCM self-test.
    • Are any non-speed control DTCs recorded? 
  2. A2 CHECK THE VEHICLE SPEED 
    • Check for correct operation of the speedometer.
    • Does the speedometer operate correctly? 
  3. A3 VERIFY PCM CONFIGURATION 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Programmable Parameters.
    • Verify that the speed control is enabled in the PCM.
    • Is the speed control enabled? 
    • Yes:  GO to A4  .
    • No:  Enable the speed control in the PCM using the scan tool programmable parameters menu.
  4. A4 CHECK THE STOPLAMP SWITCH (BOO1 AND BOO2) PIDs 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM DataLogger.
    • Monitor the PCM PIDs BOO1 (brake pedal top travel) and BOO2 (brake pedal bottom travel) while applying and releasing the brake pedal as follows:
      BRAKE PEDAL POSITION REFERENCE CHART

      Brake Pedal Position BOO1 PID BOO2 PID
      Released Off Off
      Applied lightly On Off
      Applied firmly On On
    • Do the PID values agree with the brake pedal position? 
    • Yes:  For vehicles equipped with factory Trailer Brake Control (TBC), GO to  A6.

      Otherwise, GO to  A7.

    • No:  Go To PINPOINT TEST B .
  5. A5 CHECK THE STOPLAMP SWITCH (BOO) AND BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH (BPA) PIDs 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM DataLogger.
    • Monitor the PCM PIDs BOO (brake pedal top travel) and BPA (brake pressure switch) while applying and releasing the brake pedal as follows:
      BRAKE PEDAL POSITION REFERENCE CHART

      Brake Pedal Position BOO PID BPA PID
      Released Off Off
      Applied lightly On Off
      Applied firmly On On
    • Do the PID values agree with the brake pedal position? 
  6. A6 CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE TRANSDUCER PID 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM DataLogger.
    • With the brake pedal released, monitor the PCM (BFP) PID.
    • Does the voltage read between 0.35-0.65 volts? 
    • Yes:  GO to A7  .
    • No:  REFER to AUXILIARY BRAKE SYSTEM article to diagnose the brake fluid pressure transducer.
  7. A7 CHECK THE PRNDL DISPLAY 
    • Apply the parking brake.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Monitor the PRNDL display.
    • Select DRIVE.
    • Does the PRNDL display agree with the transmission range selector lever position? 
  8. A8 CHECK THE SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM DataLogger.
    • Press each speed control switch button while monitoring the speed control switch PID (SCCS).

      Speed Control Switch SCCS PID Value
      - NONE Pressed
      RES RESUME
      OFF Off
      ON On
      SET/ACCEL SET/+
      COAST SET/-
    • Does the PID value agree with the switch position? 
    • Yes:  GO to A9  .
    • No:  If only one switch does not display the correct PID value, INSTALL a new speed control switch. REFER to SPEED CONTROL SWITCH . CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.

      Otherwise, Go To PINPOINT TEST D .

  9. A9 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the PCM connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present?
