Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

1) SPEED CONTROL SWITCH VOLTAGE HIGH
NOTE: Do not press any of the Speed Control Switch buttons.

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a scan tool, read the Speed Control voltage.

Is the Speed Control voltage above 4.8 volts?

Yes
1. Go To step 2).
No
1. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
2) SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES
Disconnect and remove the Speed Control Switches from the steering wheel.

Measure the resistance across each Speed Control Switch.

Monitor the ohmmeter while pressing each function button on each switch.

The following resistance specs are taken between terminals (V372) S/C Switch No.2 Signal and (V397) S/C Switch Return circuits of the Switch when holding the switch button in the following position.

Not pressing any switch - 20.5 kohms

On/Off - 8.87 kohms

Set - 0.825 kohms

Coast - 0.47 kohms

Cancel - 3.92 kohms

Resume/Accel - 1.87 kohms

Does the function on the Speed Control Switches have the correct resistance value?

Yes
1. Go To step 3).
No
1. Replace the Speed Control Switch that had the incorrect resistance value.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
3) STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE
Disconnect the C1 and C3 Steering Column Control Module harness connectors per Service Information.

Measure the resistance of the (V397) Switch Return circuit between the C1 and C3 SCCM connections.

Measure the resistance of the (V372) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit between the C1 and C3 SCCM connections.

Was the resistance above 5.0 ohms for either circuit?

Yes
1. Replace the Steering Column Control Module per Service Information.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go To step 4).
4) (V372) SIGNAL NO.2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

Measure the voltage on the (V372) S/C Signal No.2 circuit in the S/C Switch harness connector.

Ignition on, engine not running.

Is the voltage above 0 volts?

Yes
1. Repair the short to battery voltage in the (V372) S/C Signal No.2 circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go To step 5).
5) (V72) S/C SWITCH NO.2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.

Ignition on, engine not running.

Measure the voltage on the (V72) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit in the C1 SCCM harness connector.

Is the voltage above 0 volts?

Yes
1. Repair the short to battery voltage in the (V72) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Go To step 6).
6) (V372) S/C SWITCH NO.2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

Turn the ignition off.

Measure the resistance of the (V372) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit from the both Switch harness connectors to the C3 SCCM harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Go To step 7).
No
1. Repair the open in the (V372) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
7) (V72) S/C SWITCH NO.2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.

Measure the resistance of the (V72) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit from the C1 SCCM harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms for both measurements?

Yes
1. Go To step 8).
No
1. Repair the open in the (V72) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
8) (V397) SWITCH RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN

Measure the resistance of the (V397) Switch Return circuit from the both Switch harness connectors to the C3 SCCM harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Go To step 9).
No
1. Repair the open in the (V397) Switch Return circuit.
2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
9) (V937) SWITCH RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN

Fig 6: Checking Speed Control Switch Return Circuit
Courtesy of DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORP.

Measure the resistance of the (V937) Switch Return circuit from the C1 SCCM harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms for both measurements?

Yes
1. Go To step 10).
No
1. Repair the open in the (V937) Switch Return circuit.
