Normal Operation
The PCM sends a reference voltage signal, which passes through the clockspring and through circuit 151 (LB/BK) to the speed control switches. The speed control switch signal return (ground) is provided by circuit 848 (DG/OG) through the clockspring.
- DTC P0579 (Cruise Control Multi-Function Input A Circuit Range/Performance) - may set when the speed control switch is stuck or the switch circuits are open, shorted to voltage or shorted to ground.
