P0592
P0592-SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 2 CIRCUIT LOW
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
- When Monitored:
With the ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts.
- Set Condition:
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the Speed Control signal voltage is implausible.
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.
1. DTC IS ACTIVE
NOTE: Refer to the following table when diagnosing speed control switch voltage DTCs.
1. Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.
WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: It may be necessary to test drive the vehicle and operate the speed control in order for this DTC to set.
2. With a scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure. Checking for an Intermittent DTC.
2. SPEED CONTROL SWITCH
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the Speed Control Switch.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With a scan tool, read the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage.
NOTE: The (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage should be above 4.8 volts with the Speed Control Switch removed.
Is the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage above 4.8 volts with the Speed Control Switch removed?
Yes
- Replace the Speed Control Switch.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.
No
- Go To 3
3. CLOCKSPRING
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Clockspring C2 connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With a scan tool, read the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage.
NOTE: The (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage should be above 4.8 volts with the connector disconnected.
Is the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage above 4.8 volts with the connector disconnected?
Yes
- Replace the Clockspring.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.
No
- Go To 4
4. (V72) S/C SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance between ground and the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit in the Clockspring C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 100 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.
5. (V72) S/C SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (V937) S/C SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Measure the resistance between the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit and the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit in the Clockspring C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 100 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Repair the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit for a short to the Clockspring circuit.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.
6. (V72) S/C SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit between the Clockspring C2 harness connector and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 7
No
- Repair the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.
7. (V937) S/C SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit between the Clockspring C2 harness connector and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 8
No
- Repair the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.
8. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Speed Control Switch and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
- Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
- Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
- Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.
No
- Replace the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. PCM Verification Test.
