DTC Descriptor
DTC P0568
- Cruise Control Set Switch Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The cruise control switch is an input to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors the cruise control switch signal circuits in order to detect when a cruise control function switch has been activated. The ECM detects a voltage signal when a cruise control function switch is applied.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON.
* The cruise control switch is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects the Set/Coast switch is applied for greater than 90 seconds.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

* The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
* The cruise control system is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Cruise Set/Coast Switch parameter while pressing and depressing the Set/Coast switch. The reading should change between Inactive and Active.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Cruise Set/Coast Switch parameter displays Inactive.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal C for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

3. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and the ignition circuit terminal A. Verify the scan tool Cruise Set/Coast Switch parameter displays Active.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.

Component Testing

1. Disconnect the X4 harness connector at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
2. Turn the cruise control switch ON.
3. Test for infinite resistance between terminal A and terminal C at the turn signal/multifunction switch.

If not the specified value, replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.

4. Press and hold the cruise Set/Coast switch. Test for less than 1 ohm between terminal A and terminal C at the turn signal/multifunction switch.

If not the specified value, replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
