Normal Operation
The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a signal through circuit 151 (LB/BK) to the speed control switches, which passes through the clockspring. The return signal is sent through circuit 848 (DG/OG) and the clockspring.

DTC P0579 - may set when the speed control switch circuits are open, shorted to voltage or shorted to ground.

DTC P0581 - sets when the speed control switch circuits are shorted to voltage or open.

Possible Causes
- Circuit 151 (LB/BK) open, short to voltage or ground
- Circuit 848 (DG/OG) open, short to voltage or ground
- Clockspring
- Speed control switch
- PCM
