DTC Descriptor
DTC P0564 00
- Cruise Control Multifunction 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 on/off, set/coast, and the resume/accelerate switch signal circuits in order to detect when a cruise control function switch has been activated. The ECM detects a predetermined voltage signal when a cruise control function switch is applied, with each switch having a different voltage value.

Conditions for Running the DTC

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

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The ECM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit.
* The above condition is present for greater than 2 seconds.
* The ECM runs this diagnostic every 0.05 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The ECM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
* The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
* The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records.
* The cruise control system is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC becomes history when the fault is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, Cruise Control Switch ON, verify that the Cruise Set/Coast Switch and Resume/Accel Switch parameters read Inactive (OFF). The switch parameter should change to Active (ON) and back to Inactive (OFF) as the appropriate switch is pressed and released.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling (Service and Repair).
2. Disconnect the harness connector of the cruise control lever.
3. Ignition ON, measure for 10 volts or greater at the supply voltage circuit terminal 2.

If less than the specified value, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

4. Verify the scan tool Cruise On/Off Switch parameter is OFF.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the cruise control lever.
6. Ignition ON, with the cruise control switch in the ON position, observe the scan tool Cruise On/Off Switch parameter. The parameter should display ON.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the cruise control lever.

7. Observe the scan tool Cruise Resume/Accel. Switch parameter while pressing the RES + portion of the cruise control lever. The parameter should display Active.

If not the specified value, test or replace the cruise control lever.

8. Observe the scan tool Cruise Set/Coast Switch parameter while pressing the SET - portion of the cruise control lever. The parameter should display Active.

If not the specified value, test or replace the cruise control lever.

9. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.

Component Testing

Important: The cruise control switch must be ON in order to properly measure the resistance of the set/cruise and the resume/accel switches.


1. Ignition OFF, disable the SIR system. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling (Service and Repair).
2. Disconnect the harness connector at the cruise control lever.
3. Cruise control switch ON, measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 at the cruise control lever side of the connector. Individually activate and hold each cruise control function switch and compare the resistance reading to the values in the table for the appropriate switch.

If any resistance measurements for any of the switches are not within the listed resistance values, replace the cruise control switch assembly.





Repair Instructions

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