P0581-SPEED CONTROL SWITCH 1 CIRCUIT HIGH
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
- When Monitored:
Key on or engine running.
- Set Condition:
Speed Control MUX switch is above 11.5 Volts for five seconds.
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.
1. SCAN TOOL SHOWS SPEED CONTROL SWITCH ON/OFF
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool in Inputs/Outputs, read the Speed Control inputs state in PCM.
3. While monitoring the scan tool, push the Speed Control On/Off Switch several times, then leave it on.
Did the scan tool show Speed Control Switch off and on?
Yes
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Intermittent Condition Test
No
- Go To 2
2. VISUALLY INSPECT THE S/C WIRING HARNESS
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Using the Schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Powertrain Verification Test.
No
- Go To 3
3. CLOCKSPRING
1. Disconnect the C1 and C3 Clockspring harness connectors.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
2. Measure the resistance of the (V937) S/C Switch Return circuit between the Clockspring C1 and C3 harness connectors.
3. Measure the resistance of the (V37) S/C Switch 1 Signal circuit between the C1 and C3 harness connectors.
Was the resistance above 5.0 Ohms for either circuit?
Yes
- Replace the Clockspring.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Powertrain Verification Test.
No
- Go To 4
4. CHECK THE SPEED CONTROL ON/OFF SWITCH
1. Disconnect the Speed Control On/Off Switch 2-way harness connector only.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
2. Measure the resistance across the S/C On/Off Switch.
Is the resistance between 20.3K and 20.7K Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Replace the On/Off Switch.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Powertrain Verification Test.
5. CHECK THE (V37) S/C SWITCH 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Measure the voltage of the (V37) S/C Switch 1 Signal circuit at the On/Off Switch connector.
Is the voltage above 6.0 Volts?
Yes
- Repair the (V37) Switch 1 Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Powertrain Verification Test.
No
- Go To 6
6. CHECK THE (V37) S/C SWITCH 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN BETWEEN THE PCM AND CLOCKSPRING
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
3. Measure the resistance of the (V37) S/C Switch 1 Signal circuit between the PCM C2 harness connector and the Clockspring C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 7
No
- Repair the open in the (V37) S/C Switch 1 Signal circuit between the PCM and Clockspring.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Powertrain Verification Test.
7. CHECK THE (V37) S/C SWITCH 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN BETWEEN THE CLOCKSPRING AND S/C SWITCH
1. Measure the resistance of the (V37) S/C Switch 1 Signal circuit from the Clockspring C3 harness connector to the S/C switch harness connectors.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 8
No
- Repair the open in the (V37) S/C Switch 1 Signal circuit between the Clockspring and S/C Switches.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Powertrain Verification Test.
8. CHECK THE (V937) S/C SWITCH RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN BETWEEN THE CLOCKSPRING AND S/C SWITCH
1. Measure the resistance of the (V937) S/C Switch Return circuit between the S/C Switch harness connectors to the Clockspring C3 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 9
No
- Repair the open in the (V937) S/C Switch Return circuit between the Clockspring and the S/C Switches.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Powertrain Verification Test.
9. CHECK THE (V937) S/C SWITCH RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN BETWEEN THE PCM AND CLOCKSPRING
1. Measure the resistance of the (V937) S/C Switch Return circuit between the PCM harness connector and the Clockspring C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Powertrain Verification Test.
No
- Repair the open in the (V937) S/C Switch Return circuit from between the PCM and Clockspring.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Powertrain Verification Test.
