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 (Instrument Panel Cluster) 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 (Instrument Panel Cluster) 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 (Instrument Panel Cluster) , other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer, tachometer or odometer.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM

- IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster)

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

AG1 CHECK THE CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION

- Check the cruise control system for correct operation.

Does the cruise control operate correctly?

Yes
GO to AG2.

Does the cruise control engaged indicator illuminate when commanded on, and turn off when commanded off?

Yes
GO to AG3.

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

AG3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) SELF-TEST

- Check for recorded DTCs from the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) self-test.

Is DTC U0100:00 recorded?

Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test BF. Pinpoint Test BF: DTC U0100:00

No
INSTALL a new PCM. TEST the system for normal operation.
