INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3: When the Clutch Pedal is Depressed, Auto-cruise Control is not Cancelled. < M/T >: Diagnosis

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

STEP 1. Check the clutch pedal position switch.

Disconnect clutch pedal position switch connector C-01.

The check for continuity should be made at terminals 1 and 2 of the clutch pedal position switch

TERMINAL CONNECTOR SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS	TERMINAL CONNECTOR OF TESTER	SPECIFIED CONDITION
When clutch pedal is depressed.	1 - 2	Less than 2 ohms
When clutch pedal is not depressed.	1 - 2	Open circuit

Q: Is the continuity meet the table above?

YES : Go to Step 2.

NO: Replace the clutch pedal position switch. (Refer to CLUTCH ). Go to Step 6.

STEP 2. Measure the signal voltage at auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-21 by backprobing.
1. Do not disconnect auto-cruise control switch connector C-21.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

3. Measure the voltage between auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-21 terminal 13 and ground by backprobing.
  - The voltage should measure 0.5 volt or less. (When clutch pedal is depressed).
  - The voltage should measure battery positive voltage. (When clutch pedal is not depressed).
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Are all of the measured voltages satisfied?

YES : Check that the malfunction is eliminated. If the malfunction is eliminated, it can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS ). If the malfunction is not eliminated, replace the auto-cruise control-ECU (Refer to AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL ), and then go to Step 6.

NO: Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check clutch pedal position switch connector C-01, auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-21 and intermediate connector C-209 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.

NO: Repair or replace the faulty connector. (Refer to , HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION ). Go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check the harness wire between clutch pedal position switch connector C-01 terminal 2 and auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-21 terminal 13 for damage.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.

NO: Repair the damaged harness wire. Go to Step 6.

STEP 5. Check the harness wire between clutch pedal position switch connector C-01 terminal 1 and ground for damage.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS ). Go to Step 6.

NO: Repair the damaged harness wire. Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check that the malfunction is eliminated.
Q: Is the malfunction eliminated?

YES : This procedure is complete.

NO: Go to Step 1.
