If scan tool displays an incorrect PID value for any PID selected, perform appropriate SYSTEM TEST in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 6.0L DIESEL article.

  5. Check Speed Control

    If speed control drops out while driving up hills, engine power is not adequate to hold hill, go to next step.

  6. Check Vehicle Load

    If vehicle is too heavy to hold hills, vehicle speed dropped 10 MPH below set speed causing speed control disengagement. Confirm condition with scan tool. Access and monitor VSS and VS SET PIDs. If vehicle is able to hold hills, see RUNS ROUGH, MISSES, BUCKS OR JERKS, HESITATION, STUMBLES, SURGES (ON ACCELERATION OR CRUISE), LACK OR LOSS OF POWER, OR POOR FUEL ECONOMY  symptom.
