Circuit Description

The Cruise Resume/Accel switch is an input to the fuel control portion of the powertrain control module (PCM). These inputs allow the PCM to control and hold a previously set speed. The Cruise Resume/Accel switch sends an ignition voltage to the PCM when the switch is closed (ON).

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition switch is in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • The cruise switch is OFF.
    • The ignition voltage on the Resume switch signal circuit.

or

    • The cruise switch is ON.
    • The resume switch is ON for longer than 25.5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
    • The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information is stored in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

    • The PCM will turn the MIL off after 3 consecutive trips without a fault condition.
    • A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission related diagnostic does not report any failures.
    • The scan tool Clear Info function was used.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for a Resume/Accel switch stuck in the engage position or the signal circuit shorted to the voltage.

Test Description
