    Disconnect the C1 Clockspring harness connector

    CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.

    Measure the resistance of the (V37) S/C Switch No.1 Signal circuit from the C1 Clockspring harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

    Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms for both measurements? 

    Yes 

    1. Go to  7).

    No 

    1. Repair the open in the (V37) S/C Switch No.1 Signal circuit between the Clockspring and PCM
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  7. 7) (K914) SWITCH RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 6: Checking Switch Return Circuit For Open

    Allow the engine to idle.

    With a scan tool, monitor the S/C Switch voltage readings.

    SWITCH POSITION  SWITCH No.1 VOLTAGE VALUE  SWITCH No.2 VOLTAGE VALUE 
    NO SWITCHES PRESSED 4.31 to 4.78 volts 4.31 to 4.78 volts
    ON/OFF PRESSED 0.59 to 1.13 volts 3.53 to 3.92 volts
    RES/ACCEL PRESSED 3.88 to 4.17 volts 2.04 to 2.47 volts
    SET PRESSED 3.16 to 3.56 volts 1.17 to 1.56 volts

    CANCEL PRESSED 1.59 to 1.99 volts 2.84 to 3.25 volts

    Take these same voltage measurements with a voltmeter by back probing the (V37) S/C Switch No.1 Signal circuit at the switches.

    Compare the voltage readings on the voltmeter to what the scan tool displayed.

    Are the voltage readings out of the listed specification and is there less than a 0.2 of a volt difference between the voltmeter switch values and the scan tool switch value? 

    Yes
