  13. Connect a test light between cruise control module assembly connector (harness side) terminal "D" (Purple wire) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If test light does not illuminate, go to next step. If test light illuminates, go to step 16).
  14. Disconnect TCC/brake switch connector. Connect a test light between TCC/brake switch terminals "D" (Brown wire) and "C" (Purple wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, replace TCC/brake switch. See BRAKE & CLUTCH RELEASE SWITCHES  .
  15. Connect a test light between TCC/brake switch connector (harness side) terminal "D" (Brown wire) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If test light illuminates, repair open in Purple wire between TCC/brake switch and cruise control module assembly. If test light does not illuminate, repair open in Brown wire between TCC/brake switch and instrument panel fuse block. Also check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
  16. Using a DVOM, measure voltage between cruise control module assembly connector (harness side) terminal "K" (Dark Green/White wire) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If voltage is present, go to next step. If voltage is not present, go to step 18).
  17. Disconnect VCM 24-pin connector C4 (Black). Using a DVOM, measure voltage between cruise control module assembly connector (harness side) terminal "K" (Dark Green/White wire) and ground.
