Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 GMC Acadia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Cruise Control Set/Coast/Resume/Accelerate Switch Signal

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the component: K9 Body Control Module
  3. Disconnect the component: Cruise Control Switch Assembly
  4. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
  5. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:
    • Steering Wheel Resistor Ladder Low Reference circuit at the switch harness connector and ground.
    • Cruise Control Set/Coast/Resume/Accelerate Switch Signal circuit at the switch harness connector and ground.
    • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
  6. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  7. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:
    • Steering Wheel Resistor Ladder Low Reference circuit at the switch harness connector and ground.
    • Cruise Control Set/Coast/Resume/Accelerate Switch Signal circuit at the switch harness connector and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
  8. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
    • Steering Wheel Resistor Ladder Low Reference circuit at the switch harness connector and the other end of the circuit.
    • Cruise Control Set/Coast/Resume/Accelerate Switch Signal circuit at the switch harness connector and the other end of the circuit.
    • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms
  9. Test or replace the component: Cruise Control Switch Assembly
  10. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.Verify the DTC does not set.
    • If the DTC sets 

      Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module

    • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set 
  11. All OK.

Distance Sensing Cruise Control Gap Up/Down Switch Signal

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the component: K9 Body Control Module
  3. Disconnect the component: Cruise Control Switch Assembly
