- Using scan tool, monitor Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)/brake switch parameters. Press brake pedal. If scan tool displays APPLIED, go to next step. If scan tool displays RELEASED, go to step 11.
- If vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, go to next step. If vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, go to step 29.
- Using scan tool, monitor Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch parameters. Press clutch pedal. If scan tool displays RELEASED, go to step 12. If scan tool displays APPLIED, go to step 29.
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect multifunction lever switch 11-pin harness connector. Multifunction lever switch harness connector is located at base of steering column. Connect a test light between ground and multifunction lever switch harness connector terminal "L" (Purple wire). See Fig 1. If test light illuminates, go to step 13. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 21.

Connect a test light between ground and TCC/brake switch harness connector terminal "D" (Purple wire). If test light illuminates, go to step 18. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 23.
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect CPP switch 4-pin harness connector. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Connect a test light between ground and cruise control clutch switch harness connector terminal "C" (Gray wire). If test light illuminates, go to step 20. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 24.
- Inspect Purple wire for an open, high resistance, short to ground, or short to voltage between instrument panel fuse block and multifunction lever switch harness connector terminal "L". See Fig 1. If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is not found, go to step 28. If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is found, repair Purple wire as necessary. After repair, go to step 35.
- Inspect Dark Blue wire for an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage between Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module harness connector terminal No. 8 and multifunction lever switch harness connector terminal "K". See Fig 1. If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is not found, go to step 28. If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is found, repair Dark Blue wire as necessary. After repair, go to step 35.
- Inspect Gray/Black wire for an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage between TAC module harness connector terminal No. 21 and multifunction lever switch harness connector terminal "J". See Fig 1. If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is not found, go to step 28. If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is found, repair Gray/Black wire as necessary. After repair, go to step 35.
- Inspect Light Blue wire for an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage between TAC module harness connector terminal No. 9 and stoplight switch harness connector terminal "B". If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is not found, go to next step. If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is found, repair Light Blue wire as necessary. After repair, go to step 35.
- Inspect stoplight switch for proper adjustment. If adjustment is not necessary, go to step 25. If adjustment is necessary, see CRUISE CONTROL RELEASE SWITCH, STOPLIGHT SWITCH & TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH/BRAKE SWITCH under ADJUSTMENTS. Go to step 35.
- Inspect Purple wire for an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage between ground and TCC/brake switch harness connector terminal "D". If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is not found, go to next step. If an open, high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage is found, repair Purple wire as necessary. After repair, go to step 35.
