DTC 15: Cruise Control Switch SystemCruise Control Switch System Circuit (Part 1):
Cruise Control Switch System Circuit (Part 2):
CIRCUIT OPERATION
This circuit judges the signals of each switch ("ON/OFF", "CANCEL", "COAST/SET" and "ACC/RES") of the cruise control switch. The ECM detects the state of the cruise control switch by sensing the voltages shown below.
- When all switches are released: 4.7 - 5.0 volts
- When the "ON/OFF" switch is pressed: 0 - 0.5 volt
- When the "CANCEL" switch is pressed: 1.0 - 1.8 volts
- When the "COAST/SET" switch is pressed: 2.3 - 3.0 volts
- When the "ACC/RES" switch is pressed: 3.5 - 4.2 volts
DTC SET CONDITIONS
Check Condition
- The "CRUISE" indicator light illuminates.
Judgment Criteria
- This DTC is set when the ECM terminal voltage is different from the standard value.
- Or, this DTC is set when the "COAST/SET" switch or "ACC/RES" switch is stuck to ON.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CASE:)
- Damaged harness or connector.
- Malfunction of the cruise control switch.
- Malfunction of the clock spring.
