For 1990-2009 cars

### Circuit Description

The cruise control module is controlled through the cruise control switch. When the CRUISE ON-OFF switch is pressed and released, it provides a momentary short to ground to terminal 11 of the cruise control module. The control portion of the cruise control switch provides various resistances to terminal 10 of the cruise control module.

### Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following:

• | Faulty cruise control switch

• | Short to ground in the WHT/BLU or GRN/BLK wires between the cruise control module and the cruise control switch

• | Short to ground in the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil

An intermittent malfunction may be caused by a fault in the cruise control switch electrical circuit. Inspect the wiring harness and components for any of the following conditions:

• | Backed out terminals

• | Improper mating of terminals

• | Broken electrical connectors locks

• | Improperly formed or damaged terminals

• | Faulty terminal to wire connections

• | Physical damage to the wiring harness

• | A broken wire inside the insulation

• | Corrosion of electrical connections, splices, or terminals

Repair any electrical circuit faults that were found. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

### Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

1. This step tests for a short to ground in the CRUISE ON-OFF circuit.

2. This step tests for an open condition in the CRUISE ON-OFF circuit.

3. This step tests for proper resistance in the RES/ACC circuit.

4. This step tests for proper resistance in the CANCEL circuit.

5. This step tests for proper resistance in the SET/COAST circuit.
