Test J: DEACTIVATOR Switch Circuit Failure (Flash Code 3)

NOTE: This test only applies to vehicle equipped with electronic instrument clusters.
  1. Check brake light operation. If brake lights operate, go to next step. If brake lights do not operate, repair brake lights as necessary. See EXTERIOR LIGHTS article.
  2. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect cruise control servo/actuator harness connector C234. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Measure voltage between terminals No. 9 (Orange wire) and No. 10 (Pink/Orange wire) at cruise control servo/actuator harness connector C234. See Figure . If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step. If battery voltage exists, replace cruise control servo/actuator. See SERVO/ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
  3. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect cruise control deactivator switch harness connector C233. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Connect a fused jumper wire between terminals at cruise control deactivator switch harness connector C233. Measure voltage between terminals No. 9 (Orange wire) and No. 10 (Pink/Orange wire) at cruise control servo/actuator harness connector C234. If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step. If battery voltage exists, replace cruise control deactivator switch. See DEACTIVATOR SWITCH  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
  4. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Measure resistance in Orange wire between cruise control deactivator switch harness connector C233 and terminal No. 9 at cruise control servo/actuator harness connector C234. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, repair open in Light Green/Red wire. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Orange wire.
