Diagnostic Test

SPEED CONTROL SWITCH STATUS
1. Start the engine.
2. With the scan tool, monitor each switch function for the Speed Control Switches.
3. Press and release each Speed Control Button.
- Resume/Accel
- Cancel
- Decel (Coast)
- On/Off
- Set
SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the Speed Control Switches from the steering wheel.
3. Measure the resistance across each Switch Control Switch.
4. Monitor the ohmmeter while pressing each function button on each switch.
- Resume/Accel - 15,400 ohms
- Cancel - 909 +/- 9 ohms
- Decel (Coast) - 2940 +/- 30 ohms
- On/Off - 0 ohms
- Set - 6650 +/- 66 ohms

1. Measure the voltage on the (V71) S/C Switch No. 1 Signal at the Speed Control harness connector.
  Is the is the voltage above 5.0 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short to battery voltage in the (V71) S/C Switch No. 1 Signal.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Go To step 4
(V71) S/C SWITCH NO. 1 SIGNAL OPEN

NOTE: The measurement must be taken from both Speed Control Switch harness connector.

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.
1. Measure the resistance of the (V71) S/C Switch No. 1 Signal from the Speed Control harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms for both measurement?
  
  Yes
  - Go To step 5
  No
  - Repair the open in the (V71) S/C Switch No. 1 Signal.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure

NOTE: The measurement must be taken from both Speed Control Switch harness connectors.

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.
1. Measure the resistance of the V937/K914 S/C Switch Return circuit from the Speed Control harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms for both measurements?
  
  Yes
  - Go To step 6
  No
  - Repair the open in the V937/K914 S/C Switch Return circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
PCM
NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
  If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
  
  Repair
  - Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure
