Test C: DTC P0579 Or DTC P0581 Speed Control Switch Circuit Failure
PINPOINT TEST C: DTC P0579 OR DTC P0581 - SPEED CONTROL SWITCH CIRCUIT FAILUREC1-C3:
C3-C5:
C5-C6:
C7-C9:
C9-C10:
Normal Operation
The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a signal through circuit VES10 (WH) to the speed control switches, which passes through the clockspring. The return signal is sent to the PCM through circuit RES08 (GN/BN) and the clockspring.
DTC P0579 - may set when the speed control switch circuits are open, shorted to voltage or shorted to ground.
DTC P0581 - sets when the speed control switch circuits are shorted to voltage or open.
Possible Causes
- Circuit RES08 (GN/BN) open or short to voltage
- Circuit VES10 (WH) open, short to voltage or ground
- Clockspring
- Speed control switch
- PCM
