PINPOINT TEST 3: THE SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY - HYBRID
Normal Operation
Voltage is sent from the PCM to the speed control switch. When a switch is pressed, the voltage is routed through a specific resistor value for each function and the PCM grounds the reference voltage. The PCM uses this reference voltage to determine which speed control input function has been selected.
- DTC P0579 (Cruise Control Multifunction Input A Circuit Range/Performance) - sets when the speed control switch circuits are open, shorted to voltage or ground.
- DTC P0581 (Cruise Control Multi-Function Input A Circuit High) - sets when the speed control switch circuits are open or shorted to voltage.
Possible Causes
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Speed control switches
- Clockspring
- PCM
Diagnostic Procedure
CAUTION:Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
