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

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the cruise control 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 indicator. If the cruise control message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the cruise control indicator to the last on/off state, based upon the last known good cruise control message received.

If the cruise control message is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0100:87 in continuous memory and defaults the cruise control indicator off.

NOTE: If DTC U0100:87 is set in the IPC, other observable symptoms can be an inoperative speedometer, tachometer or odometer.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM
- IPC
