With the scan tool, monitor the Speed Control Switch voltage.
Disconnect the Speed Control On/Off Switch harness connector.
Did the voltage change from approximately 1.0 volt to above 4.7 volts?
Yes
- Replace the Speed Control On/Off Switch.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go to 3).
- 3) SPEED CONTROL RESUME/ACCEL SWITCH
With the scan tool, monitor the Speed Control Switch voltage.
Disconnect the Speed Control Resume/Accel Switch harness connector.
Did the voltage change to above 4.7 volts?
Yes
- Replace the Speed Control Resume/Accel Switch.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go to 4).
- 4) CLOCKSPRING
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the C1 Clockspring harness connector (instrument panel wiring side) per Service Information.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, read the S/C Switch voltage.
Did the S/C Switch volts change to 5.0 volts?
Yes
- Replace the Clockspring.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go to 5).
- 5) (V38) S/C SWITCH NO.2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

Turn the ignition off.
Connect the C3 Clockspring harness connectors per Service Information.
Disconnect the C3 PCM harness connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (V38) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit in the S/C Switch harness connectors.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
Yes
- Repair the short to ground in the (V38) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit between the Switch and Clockspring.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go to 6).
- 6) (V38) S/C NO.2 SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
Measure the resistance between ground and the (V38) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit in the C1 Clockspring harness connector.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
Yes
- Repair the short to ground in the (V38) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit between the Clockspring and PCM.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go to 7).
- 7) (V38) S/C SWITCH NO.2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K914) SWITCH RETURN CIRCUIT
Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
Measure the resistance between the (K914) S/C Switch Return circuit and the (V38) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit in the S/C Switch harness connectors.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Repair the short between the (V38) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit and the (K914) S/C Switch Return circuit between the Switch and Clockspring.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go to 8).
- 8) (V38) S/C SWITCH NO.2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K914) S/C SWITCH RETURN CIRCUIT Fig 4: Checking Speed Control Switch No. 2 Signal Circuit For Short To Speed Control Switch Return Circuit
Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
Measure the resistance between the (V38) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit and the (K914) S/C Switch Return circuit in the C1 Clockspring harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Repair the short between the (V38) S/C Switch No.2 Signal circuit and the (K914) S/C Switch Return circuit between the Clockspring and PCM.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go to 9).
- 9) SPEED CONTROL SWITCH VOLTAGE VALUES
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 COAST PRESSED 2.57 to 2.94 volts 0.77 to 1.09 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 (V38) S/C Switch No.2 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 values?
Yes
- Replace the Speed Control Switch.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go to 10).
- 10) PCM NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
Were there any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
