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

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the cruise control engaged 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 engaged indicator.

If the cruise control engaged message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the cruise control engaged indicator remains in the last indication mode (on or off) based upon the last known good message received. If the cruise control engaged message is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the cruise control engaged 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
