Inspection and Verification

NOTE: If any concerns are noted with the speedometer, stoplamps, or horn, address those concerns by referring to the appropriate repair procedures before continuing speed control system diagnosis.
  1. Verify the customer concern.
  2. Verify the speedometer operates correctly without speed control by test driving the vehicle. If the speedometer does not operate correctly, refer to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER .
  3. Verify the stoplamps operate correctly with the ignition switch in the OFF position. If the stoplamps do not operate correctly, refer to EXTERIOR LIGHTING .
  4. NOTE: Any aftermarket modifications, including but not limited to those listed below, may cause the speed control to not operate correctly:
    • Any wiring or lamp modifications affecting the brake lamp operation
    • LED brake lamps
    • Non-factory installed trailer wiring
    • Radios (speed sensitive, auto mute)
    • Remote starters and alarms
    • Lighting and electrical accessory modifications
  5. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage:
    • Visually inspect the speed control actuator and accelerator controls.
    • Visually inspect the speed control cable without removing it and ensure smooth cable operation. Inspect the speed control cable connection to the throttle body.
    • Visually inspect the accelerator cable without removing it and ensure smooth cable operation. Inspect the accelerator cable connection to the throttle body. Also check for cable interference with the carpet, bulkhead grommet, insulation and instrument panel wiring.
  6. Verify the horn operates correctly. If the horn does not operate correctly, refer to HORN .
  7. Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
