Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The cruise control switch is an input to the body control module (BCM). The BCM monitors the cruise control on/off, set/coast, resume/accelerate and cancel switches via the cruise control 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 engine control module (ECM) receives the requested cruise control switch function from the BCM via a serial data message.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• The cruise switch is ON.
• The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3794 08

The BCM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit for 1 second.

P0564, P0565, P0567, P0568, P056C

• The BCM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit for greater than 2 seconds and sends a serial data message to the ECM. The ECM sets these DTCs when the message is received.
• The ECM runs this diagnostic continuously.

P0580, P0581

• The ECM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit.
• The above condition is present for greater than 2 seconds.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON.
2. Verify the scan tool ECM Cruise Control Switch Status parameter changes between Off and On, Resume and Set when switching between each position on the cruise control switch.

If the parameter does not change

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If the parameter changes

3. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

NOTE:

• An open ignition circuit or fuse before the control module will cause communication DTCs or power mode mismatch DTCs to set against or in the control module. This failure mode will be diagnosed in the no communications diagnostic procedure or power mode mismatch.
• This test assumes the ignition circuit has a driver that will open under a high current condition before the fuse opens.
• The driver can open under normal conditions such as battery run down protection or a retained accessory power mode.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch-Left, ignition ON.
2. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
2. Test for greater than 100 ohms between the ignition circuit and ground.

• If 100 ohms or less, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If greater than 100 ohms

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ignition circuit end to end.

• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, test or replace the K9 Body Control Module.

If the test lamp illuminates

3. Verify the scan tool ECM Cruise Control Switch Status parameter is Off.

If not Off

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.

• If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
• If less than 1 V, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

If Off

4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the ignition circuit terminal 1.
5. Verify the scan tool ECM Cruise Control parameter is Disabled.

If not Error

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 9 and ground.

• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

If Error

6. Test or replace the S70L Steering Wheel Controls Switch-Left.

DTC Descriptors

DTC P0572

Brake Switch Circuit 1 Low Voltage

DTC P0573

Brake Switch Circuit 1 High Voltage

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The stop lamp switch signal circuit is a B+ input from the body control module (BCM) to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors the stop lamp switch circuit to detect when the brake pedal has been applied. The BCM monitors the brake pedal position sensor to determine when the brake pedal is applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the BCM supplies B+ on the stop lamp switch signal circuit and also sends a serial data message to the ECM indicating that the brake pedal has been applied.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• The engine is running.
• Battery voltage is greater than 11.5 V.
• Brakes applied.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0572

This DTC will set when the ECM detects a short to ground or an open on the discrete brake signal circuit when the serial data message from the BCM indicates the brakes are applied. This diagnostic will run when the serial data message and the voltage signal on the brake switch signal circuit do not match for 8 out 10 times, and the condition is present for greater than 2 s.

P0573

This DTC will set when the ECM detects a short to voltage on the discrete brake signal circuit when the serial data message from the BCM indicates the brakes are not applied. This diagnostic will run when the serial data message and the voltage signal on the brake switch signal circuit do not match for 8 out 10 times, and the condition is present for greater than 2 s.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

• The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
• The cruise control system is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
• A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.
