Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode.

2. Verify the component works as specified:Cruise Control Switch Assembly.

3. Refer to:Body Control Module-Scan Tool Parameters in Typical Scan Tool Data.

  • If a condition exists

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

  • Go to next step: If no condition exists

4. Verify the condition does not exist:Cruise Control System Status=Inhibit by ECM

  • Cruise Control System Status=Inhibit by ECM

If a condition exists - Repair or replace as necessary

  • Go to next step: Cruise Control System Status Inhibit by ECM

5. Verify that no DTC listed in the DTC Descriptor Category is set.

  • If a related DTC is set

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

  • Go to next step: If a related DTC is not set

6. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

Cruise Control Switch Signal

1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off.

2. Disconnect the component:K9 Body Control Module.

3. Disconnect the component:Cruise Control Switch Assembly.

4. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode.

5. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:

  • 12 V Reference circuit & Ground
  • Cruise Control Switch Signal & Ground
  • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
  • Go to next step: If less than 1 V

6. Ignition/Vehicle - Off.

7. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:

  • 12 V Reference circuit & Ground
  • Cruise Control Switch Signal & Ground
  • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  • Go to next step: If infinite resistance

8. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:

  • 12 V Reference circuit@Component harness & The other end of the circuit@Control module harness
  • Cruise Control Switch Signal@Component harness & The other end of the circuit@Control module harness
  • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
  • Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms

9. Test or replace the component:Cruise Control Switch Assembly.

10. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Verify the DTC does not set.

  • If the DTC sets

Replace the component:K9 Body Control Module

  • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set

11. All OK.

Adaptive Cruise Control Gap Up/Down Switch Signal

1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off.

2. Disconnect the component:K9 Body Control Module.

3. Disconnect the component:Cruise Control Switch Assembly.

4. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode.

5. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:

  • 12 V Reference circuit & Ground
  • Adaptive Cruise Control Gap Up/Down Switch Signal & Ground
  • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
  • Go to next step: If less than 1 V

6. Ignition/Vehicle - Off.

7. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:

  • 12 V Reference circuit & Ground
  • Adaptive Cruise Control Gap Up/Down Switch Signal & Ground
  • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  • Go to next step: If infinite resistance

8. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:

  • 12 V Reference circuit@Component harness & The other end of the circuit@Control module harness
  • Adaptive Cruise Control Gap Up/Down Switch Signal@Component harness & The other end of the circuit@Control module harness
  • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
  • Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms

9. Test or replace the component:Cruise Control Switch Assembly 10. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Verify the DTC does not set.

  • If the DTC sets

Replace the component:K9 Body Control Module

  • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set

11. All OK.
