Pinpoint Test A: The Speed Control Is Inoperative

  1. A1 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 A2  .
    • No:  ENABLE the speed control in the PCM using the scan tool programmable parameters menu. TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. A2 CHECK FOR ABS DTCs 
    • Review the recorded DTCs from the ABS self-test.
    • Are any DTCs recorded? 
    • Yes:  REFER to the VEHICLE DYNAMIC SYSTEMS article. REPAIR all ABS module DTCs and RETEST the speed control.
    • No:  GO to A3  .
  3. A3 CHECK FOR PCM DTCs 
    • Review the recorded DTCs from the PCM self-test.
    • Are any DTCs present? 
    • Yes:  For speed control DTCs, REFER to the DTC CHARTS .

      For non-speed control DTCs, REFER to the INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE MODELS article. REPAIR all PCM DTCs and RETEST the speed control.

    • No:  GO to A4  .
  4. A4 CHECK THE VEHICLE SPEED 
    • Check for correct operation of the speedometer.
    • Does the speedometer operate correctly? 
  5. A5 CHECK THE PARK BRAKE 
    • Monitor the park brake indicator while applying and releasing the of the park brake.
    • Does the park brake operate correctly? 
  6. A6 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 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:  If equipped with a floor shift, GO to A7  .

      If equipped with a column shift, GO to  A8.

    • No:  Go To PINPOINT TEST B .
  7. A7 MONITOR THE PCM (TR) PID 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM DataLogger.
    • Monitor the PCM transmission range PID (TR).
    • Select DRIVE.
    • Does the PID value agree with the TR selector lever position? 
  8. A8 MONITOR THE PRNDL DISPLAY 
    • Monitor the PRNDL display in the Instrument Cluster (IC).
    • Select DRIVE.
    • Does the PRNDL display agree with the TR selector lever position? 
  9. A9 CHECK THE SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: PCM DataLogger.
    • Press each speed control switch while monitoring the speed control switch PID (SCCS).

      Speed Control Switch SCCS PID Value
      - NONE Pressed
      RESUME RESUME
      OFF Off
      ON On
      SET + SET/+
      SET - SET/-
    • Does the PID value agree with the switch position? 
    • Yes:  GO to A10  .
    • No:  If only one switch does not display the correct PID value, INSTALL a new speed control switch. REFER to SPEED CONTROL SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.

      Otherwise, Go To PINPOINT TEST C .

  10. A10 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 seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes:  INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS article. TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No:  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
