Pinpoint Test Y: The Cruise Control Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the cruise control signal from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. When the cruise control is engaged, the PCM sends a message to the IPC to illuminate the cruise control indicator.

If the cruise control message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the cruise control indicator to the last on/off state, based upon the last known good cruise control message received.

If the cruise control message is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the cruise control indicator off.

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 is set in the IPC, other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer, tachometer or odometer.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM
- IPC



PINPOINT TEST Y: THE CRUISE CONTROL INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON

-------------------------------------------------
Y1 CHECK THE CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION


- Check the cruise control system for correct operation.
- Does the cruise control operate correctly?

Yes
GO to Y2.

No
REFER to Fire Suppression System.

-------------------------------------------------
Y2 CARRY OUT THE IPC INDICATOR LAMP CONTROL ACTIVE COMMAND USING THE SCAN TOOL


- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IPC DataLogger.
- Select the IPC cruise control indicator (CRUISE) active command. Command the cruise control indicator on and off while observing the cruise control indicator.
- Does the cruise control indicator illuminate when commanded on and turn off when commanded off?

Yes
GO to Y3.

No
INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
Y3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE IPC SELF-TEST


- Check for recorded DTCs from the IPC self-test.
- Are any DTCs recorded?

Yes
For DTC U0100:00, GO to Pinpoint Test AV. Pinpoint Tests AV: DTC U0100:00

For all other DTCs, REFER to DTC Charts. Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes

No
INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to Computers and Control Systems. TEST the system for normal operation.
