No
- Go To 4
4. STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the C1 Steering Column Control Module harness connector (instrument panel wiring side) per Service Information.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, read the S/C Switch voltage.
Did the S/C Switch volts change to 5.0 volts?
Yes
- Replace the Steering Column Control Module.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
No
- Go To 5
5. (V372) S/C SWITCH NO.2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
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
- Repair the short to ground in the (V372) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
No
- 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
- Repair the short to ground in the (V72) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
No
- 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
- Repair the short between the (V372) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit and the (V397) Switch Return circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
No
- 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
- Repair the short between the (V72) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit and the (V937) Switch Return circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
No
- Go To 9
9. SPEED CONTROL SWITCH VOLTAGE VALUES
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 |
Take these same voltage measurements with a voltmeter by back probing the (V372) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit at the switches.
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 the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
No
- Go To 10
10. PCM
NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
Were there any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
No
- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
