DTC P0568 Cruise Set Circuit






Circuit Description

The cruise Set/Coast switch is an input to the fuel control portion of the PCM. These inputs allow the PCM to control and hold a requested speed. Cruise Set/Coast switch sends an ignition voltage signal to the PCM when the Set/Coast switch is "ON". This is a type D DTC.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

^ Cruise switch "OFF".
^ Ignition voltage on Set switch signal circuit.
or
^ Cruise switch "ON".
^ Set switch "ON" for longer than 25.5 seconds

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

^ The PCM will disallow all cruise inputs.
^ TCC shift schedules may be affected.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

^ A History DTC will clear when forty consecutive warm-up cycles that the diagnostic does not fail (coolant temperature has risen 5°C (40°F) from start up coolant temperature and engine coolant temperature exceeds 71°C (16O°F) that same ignition cycle).
^ Use of a Scan Tool.

Diagnostic Aids

If the Set/Coast switch stuck in the "ON" position or the driver is holding the Set/Coast switch "ON" for longer than 25.5 seconds, DTC P0569 will set. DTC P0568 only checks the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
