This cruise control system is integrated into the powertrain control module (PCM) and does not have a separate cruise control module.


Begin diagnosis with the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview). The Diagnostic System Check will provide the following information:

* The ability of the control modules to communicate through the serial data circuit

The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.
