Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH
    1. Ignition ON.
    2. Using a scan tool, view the SCCM PIDs  .
    3. Press each cruise control switch while monitoring the cruise control switch PID SCCS.
      Cruise Control Switch SCCS PID Value
      - None pressed
      RES RESUME
      CNCL CANCEL
      ON/OFF (pressed up) On
      ON/OFF (pressed down) Off
      SET (pressed up) SET/+
      SET (pressed down) SET/-

    Does the PID value agree with the switch position? 

    1. Yes: GO to  5.
    2. No: If only one switch value does not display the correct PID value, INSTALL a new LH steering wheel switch. REFER to STEERING WHEEL SWITCH

      Otherwise, GO to .

  2. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Remove the driver air bag module. REFER to DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE .
    3. Disconnect: LH Steering Wheel Switch.
    4. Ignition ON.
    5. Measure:

    Are the voltages approximately 5 volts? 

    1. Yes: INSTALL a new LH steering wheel switch. REFER to STEERING WHEEL SWITCH
    2. No: GO to .
  3. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE CLOCKSPRING
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: Clockspring C218B.
    3. Ignition ON.

  4. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT THE SCCM
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Remove the clockspring. REFER to CLOCKSPRING .
    3. Ignition ON.

    Are the voltages approximately 5 volts? 

    1. Yes: INSTALL a new clockspring. REFER to CLOCKSPRING
    2. No: GO to .
  5. CHECK FOR CORRECT SCCM OPERATION
    1. Disconnect and inspect all the SCCM connectors.
    2. Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    3. Reconnect the SCCM connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
    4. Connect all disconnected connectors.
    5. Install the driver air bag module. REFER to DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE .
    6. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    1. Yes: CHECK OASIS  for any applicable TSBs  . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs  address this concern, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE (SCCM) .
    2. No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
