Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution .

Disable the inflatable restraint steering wheel module when performing this diagnostic. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling .

  1. Ignition OFF, remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Inflatable Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement .
  2. Disconnect the harness connector of the cruise control switch.
  3. Ignition ON, measure for 10 volts or greater between the steering wheel switch harness terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than 10 volts, test for an open/high resistance or a short to ground on the cruise control supply voltage circuit.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the BCM.
  5. Test for 1.0 ohm or less resistance between the cruise control switch harness terminal 3 and the BCM X1 connector terminal 3.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the cruise control switch signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
  6. Test for infinite resistance between the cruise control switch harness terminal 3 and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the cruise control switch signal circuit for a short to ground.
  7. Ignition ON, test for 0 volts between the cruise control switch harness terminal 3 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the cruise control switch signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  8. If all circuits test normal, test the component. If the component tests normal, replace the BCM.
