Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    WARNING:

    Turn the ignition off disconnect the 12-volt battery and wait two minutes before proceeding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    WARNING:

    Do not place an intact non-deployed airbag face down on a hard surface, the airbag propels into the air if accidentally deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2.

      No 

  2. CHECK THE (V71/V37) S/C SIGNAL 1 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Right Steering Wheel Switch harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Measure the voltage of the (V71/V37) S/C Signal 1 circuit at the Right Steering Wheel Switch harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 5.2 volts?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to voltage in the (V71/V37) S/C Signal 1 signal circuit.
      • Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3.
  3. RIGHT STEERING WHEEL SWITCH 
    1. Connect a jumper between the (V71/V37) S/C Signal 1 circuit and the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit at the Right Steering Wheel Switch harness connector.
    2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Does the P0580-SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 1 CIRCUIT LOW set as active or pending with the jumper in place?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  4.
  4. STEERING WHEEL JUMPER HARNESS 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the SCM C6 harness connector.
    3. Connect a jumper between the (V71/V37) S/C Signal 1 circuit and the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit at the SCM C6 component side.
    4. Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
    5. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Does the P0580-SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 1 CIRCUIT LOW set as active or pending with the jumper in place?

      Yes 

      • Replace the Steering Wheel Jumper Harness in accordance with the service information.
      • Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  5.
  5. CLOCKSPRING 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the SCM C2 harness connector.
    3. Connect a jumper between the (V71/V37) S/C Signal 1 circuit and the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit at the SCM C2 harness connector.
    4. Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
    5. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Does the P0580-SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 1 CIRCUIT LOW set as active or pending with the jumper in place?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  6.
  6. CHECK THE (V71/V37) S/C SIGNAL 1 CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (V71/V37) S/C Signal 1 circuit between the SCM C2 harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  7.

      No 

      • Repair the (V71) Cruise Sense 1 signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  7. CHECK THE (V937) S/C SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance of the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit between the SCM C2 harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  8.

      No 

      • Repair the (V937) S/C Signal Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  8. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Speed Control Switch and the Powertrain Control Module.
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    4. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
