Test SC-2A - Checking Speed Control Operation

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect speed control switch connector(s). Check connector(s) for damaged, pushed out or miswired terminals. Repair as necessary. Perform TEST SC-VER . If connector(s) is(are) okay, check resistance of speed control switch signal circuit using an external ohmmeter. Measure resistance between speed control switch connector (White wire) and ground.
  2. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Yellow/Red or White wire. Perform TEST SC-VER . If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, check resistance of speed control ground circuit. Measure between speed control switch (Black wire) and ground. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open in ground circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Perform TEST SC-VER. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  3. Connect a jumper wire between speed control switch connector terminals No. 2 and 3 (switch signal circuit and ground circuit). See Figure
  4. On all models, use scan tool to read speed control switch voltage. If scan tool displays 0.00V OFF, replace speed control switch. Perform TEST SC-VER . If scan tool does not display 0.00V OFF, ensure ignition is off.
  5. Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector. Check connector for damaged, pushed out or miswired terminals. Repair as necessary. Perform TEST SC-VER . If connector is okay, go to next step.
  6. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of speed control switch signal circuit between speed control switch connector and PCM Gray connector. See SPEED CONTROL SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT WIRE IDENTIFICATION . See Figure and Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace PCM. Perform TEST SC-VER .
    SPEED CONTROL SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT WIRE IDENTIFICATION

    Body Terminal No. Wire Color
    At PCM C32 Red/Light Green
    At Speed Control Switch 2 Red/Light Green
  7. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, disconnect clockspring-to-instrument panel harness connector. Connector is located on steering column below clockspring. Check connector for damaged, pushed out or miswired terminals. Repair as necessary. Perform TEST SC-VER .
  8. If connector is okay, check resistance of speed control switch signal circuit between clockspring harness connector terminal No. 3 and Gray PCM connector terminal C32 using an external ohmmeter. See Figure. Also, see WIRING DIAGRAMS . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace clockspring. Perform TEST SC-VER . If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in speed control switch signal circuit between clockspring harness connector terminal No. 3 and Gray PCM connector terminal C32. Perform TEST SC-VER . Also, refer to WIRING DIAGRAMS .
