DTC P1585: Cruise Control Inhibit Output Circuit: Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Perform the CRUISE CONTROL DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK . Once test has been performed, go to next step.
  2. Turn off the ignition. Disconnect the PCM harness connector. Turn on the ignition, with the engine off. Using a DMM connected to a good ground, measure the voltage of the cruise control inhibit signal circuit. If the voltage measures near B+, go to next step. If not, go to step  4.
  3. Turn off the ignition. Disconnect the cruise control harness connector. Turn on the ignition, with the engine off. Probe the cruise control inhibit signal circuit with a test lamp connected to a good ground. If the test lamp illuminates, go to step  7. If not, go to step  5.
  4. Test the cruise control inhibit signal circuit for a short to ground. If you found and corrected the condition, go to step  10. If not, go to step  6.
  5. Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM. If you found and corrected the condition, go to step  10. If not, go to step  8.
  6. Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the cruise control module. If you found and corrected the condition, go to step  10. If not, go to step  9.
  7. Repair the short to voltage in the cruise control inhibit signal circuit. If you found and corrected the condition, go to step  10.
  8. Replace the PCM. See REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Program the PCM. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE  under PROGRAMMING. If you completed the replacement, go to step  10.
  9. Replace the cruise control module. See CRUISE CONTROL MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If you completed the replacement, go to step  10.
  10. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs. Operate the vehicle within normal cruise control operating conditions. If the DTC resets, go to step  2.
