DTC P0579:00 [MZR 1.8, MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5]


id0102f4087000

DTC P0579:00

Cruise control multi-function input circuit range/performance problem

DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the input signal from the cruise control switch. If the input signal does not change for 120 s, the PCM determines that the cruise control switch circuit has a malfunction.
Diagnostic support note
•  This is a continuous monitor (other).
•  The MIL does not illuminate.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is not available.
•  The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Clock spring connector or terminals malfunction
•  Clock spring malfunction
•  Cruise control switch malfunction
•  Short to ground in wiring harness between clock spring terminal 2N and PCM terminal 1AQ
•  PCM connector or terminals malfunction
•  Short to power supply in wiring harness between the following terminals:
―  Clock spring terminal 2N—PCM terminal 1AQ
―  Clock spring terminal 2P—PCM terminal 1AN
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
―  Clock spring terminal 2N—PCM terminal 1AQ
―  Clock spring terminal 2P—PCM terminal 1AN
•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
•  Verify related Service Information availability.
•  Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information.
•  If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT CLOCK SPRING CONNECTORS CONDITION
Warning
•  Handling the air bag system components improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts, which may seriously injure you. Read the air bag system service warnings and cautions before handling the air bag system components.
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Disconnect the clock spring connectors.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT CLOCK SPRING
•  Inspect the clock spring.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the clock spring, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH
•  Inspect the cruise control switch.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the steering switch, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  Clock spring connector is disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between clock spring terminal 2N (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
If the short to ground circuit could be detected:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground.
If the short to ground circuit could not be detected:
•  Replace the PCM (short to ground in PCM internal circuit).
Go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Disconnect the PCM connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
7
INSPECT CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
•  Clock spring and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Switch the ignition to ON (engine off).
•  Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
―  Clock spring terminal 2N
―  Clock spring terminal 2P
•  Is there any voltage?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
8
INSPECT CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Clock spring and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
―  Clock spring terminal 2N—PCM terminal 1AQ
―  Clock spring terminal 2P—PCM terminal 1AN
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to the next step.
9
VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Drive the vehicle using cruise control for 2 min or more.
•  Perform the DTC Reading Procedure.
•  Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
10
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
•  Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
