P1562

Code P1562, Cruise Vacuum Solenoid Circuit:

Cruise System Circuit:

*** This information has been updated according to Technical Service Bulletins #316527, dated Jan. 1994, and #416506, dated April 1994.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The cruise switch within the turn signal lever receives ignition voltage from a 15 amp fuse through CKT 639 to the turn signal lever-cruise switches. The cruise "ON/OFF", "SET/COAST," and "RESUME/ACCEL" switches are inputs to the cruise control portion of the PCM.

The cruise servo vent and vacuum solenoids are output controlled by high side drivers in the PCM. When the ignition is "ON" the PCM looks at these output lines and will set DTC(s) if an incorrect status is seen on any line.

The vacuum solenoid is a normally closed solenoid valve that blocks the flow of vacuum to the cruise servo. When the solenoid is energized ("ON"), the solenoid valve opens allowing vacuum to be drawn into the servo.

DTC P1562 WILL SET WHEN:
^ CKT 205 is shorted to voltage when the vacuum solenoid is commanded "OFF."
^ CKT 205 is open.
^ CKT 205 is shorted to ground when the PCM is commanding the vacuum solenoid "ON."
^ One of the above conditions are met for more than a half of a second.

ACTION TAKEN (PCM will default to):
The PCM will not allow cruise control operation with a current DTC P1562 set. DTC P1562 does not illuminate the MIL (Service Engine Soon).

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside the insulation.

Check for:
^ Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal 10 wire connection, and damaged harness.
