1. Cruise Control Malfunction


Circuit/System Description

The cruise control switch is an input to the body control module (BCM). The BCM monitors the cruise control on/off, set/coast, resume/accelerate and cancel switches via the cruise control switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to perform a cruise control function. The BCM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit when a switch is applied. The BCM sends a serial data message to the engine control module (ECM) indicating the status of the cruise control switches.

Conditions for Running the DTC


• The cruise switch is ON.

• The ignition is ON.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3794 08

The BCM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit for 1 second.

B3794 61

Stuck switch for either Resume/Accel or Set/Coast button for 60 seconds.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets


• The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.

• The cruise control system is disabled.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC


• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

• A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification

Engine ON, while rotating the steering wheel to both steering stops, observe the scan tool Cruise Control Switch parameter while pressing each of the cruise control switches. The parameter should toggle between On, Off, Resume, Set, and Cancel as the applicable switch is pressed.

Circuit/System Testing


1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S70R steering wheel control switch-right.

2. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.

3. If less than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.

4. Test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and the signal circuit terminal 3.

5. If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.

6. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K9 BCM.

7. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 9 and ground.

8. If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.

9. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S70R steering wheel control switch-right.
