P0592






P0592-SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 2 CIRCUIT LOW





For complete wiring diagrams refer to Diagrams/Electrical.

- When Monitored:

With the ignition key on.

- Set Condition:

Speed control switch input No.2 is below the minimum acceptable voltage at the PCM. One trip fault.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.

Diagnostic Test

1. SPEED CONTROL SWITCH VOLTAGE LOW

NOTE: Do not press any of the Speed Control Switch buttons.

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a scan tool, read the Speed Control voltage.

Is the Speed Control voltage below 1.0 volt?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. Intermittent Condition
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

2. SPEED CONTROL SWITCH

With the scan tool, monitor the Speed Control Switch voltage.

Disconnect the Speed Control Switch harness connector.

Did the voltage change to above 4.7 volts?

Yes

- Replace the Speed Control Switch.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

No

- Go To 3

3. (V72) S/C SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND





Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.

Measure the resistance between ground and the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit in the Switch harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the short to ground in the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

No

- Go To 4

4. (V72) S/C SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (V937) S/C RETURN CIRCUIT





Measure the resistance between the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit and the (V937) S/C Return circuit in the Switch harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the short between the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit and the (V937) S/C Return circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

No

- Go To 5

5. SPEED CONTROL SWITCH VOLTAGE VALUES

Allow the engine to idle.

With a scan tool, monitor the S/C Switch voltage readings.





Take these same voltage measurements with a voltmeter by back probing the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit at the switches.

Compare the voltage readings on the voltmeter to what the scan tool displayed.

Are the voltage readings out of the listed specification and is there less than a 0.2 of a volt difference between the voltmeter switch values and the scan tool switch values?

Yes

- Replace the Speed Control Switch.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

No

- Go To 6

6. PCM

NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.

Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

No

- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test
