Diagnostic Test

1) ACTIVE DTC
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 can result in personal injury or death.

NOTE: It may be necessary to test drive the vehicle and operate the speed control in order for this DTC to set.

With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

Turn the ignition off.

Connect the C3 Steering Column Control Module harness connectors per Service Information.

Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.

Measure the resistance between ground and the (V372) S/C Switch No. 2 Signal circuit in the S/C Switch harness connectors.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes
1. Repair the short to ground in the (V372) S/C Switch No. 2 Signal circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go to 6).
6) (V72) S/C NO. 2 SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

Measure the resistance between ground and the (V72) S/C Switch No. 2 Signal circuit in the C1 SCCM harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes
1. Repair the short to ground in the (V72) S/C Switch No. 2 Signal circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go to 7).
7) (V372) S/C SWITCH NO. 2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (V397) SWITCH RETURN CIRCUIT

Measure the resistance between the (V397) Switch Return circuit and the (V372) S/C Switch No. 2 Signal circuit in the S/C Switch harness connectors.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Repair the short between the (V372) S/C Switch No. 2 Signal circuit and the (V397) Switch Return circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go to 8).
8) (V72) S/C SWITCH NO. 2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (V937) S/C SWITCH RETURN CIRCUIT

Measure the resistance between the (V72) S/C Switch No. 2 Signal circuit and the (V937) S/C Switch Return circuit in the C1 SCCM harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Repair the short between the (V72) S/C Switch No. 2 Signal circuit and the (V937) Switch Return circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go to 9).

9) SPEED CONTROL SWITCH VOLTAGE VALUES

CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 and #8815-1 to perform diagnosis.

Using a voltmeter check the voltage on the (V38) S/C Switch No. 2 Signal circuit at the appropriate terminal of the special tool #8815.

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 can result in personal injury or death.

Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

Monitor the voltmeter.

Allow the engine to idle.

With a scan tool, monitor the S/C Switch voltage readings.

SWITCH POSITION	SWITCH No. 1 VOLTAGE VALUE	SWITCH No. 2 VOLTAGE VALUE
NO SWITCHES PRESSED	4.31 to 4.78 volts	4.31 to 4.78 volts
ON/OFF PRESSED	0.59 to 1.13 volts	3.53 to 3.92 volts
RES/ACCEL PRESSED	3.88 to 4.17 volts	2.04 to 2.47 volts
SET PRESSED	3.16 to 3.56 volts	1.17 to 1.56 volts
COAST PRESSED	2.57 to 2.94 volts	0.77 to 1.09 volts
CANCEL PRESSED	1.59 to 1.99 volts	2.84 to 3.25 volts

Compare the voltage readings on the voltmeter to what the scan tool displayed.

Are the voltage readings out of the listed specification and is there less than a 0.2 of a volt difference between the voltmeter switch values and the scan tool switch values?

Yes

Replace the Speed Control Switch.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

Go to 10).

10) PCM
