Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac G5 and 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The cruise control switch is an input to the body control module (BCM). The BCM monitors the cruise control Set/Coast and Resume/Accelerate switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to perform a cruise control function. The BCM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit when a switch is applied. The BCM sends a serial data message to the engine control module (ECM), indicating the status of the cruise control switches.
