DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - CRUISE CONTROL
Begin the system diagnosis with the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle . The Diagnostic
System Check will provide the following information:
The identification of the control modules which command the system
The ability of the control modules to communicate through the serial data circuit
The identification of any stored DTCs and their status
The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the
system and where the procedure is located.
DTC B3794
Diagnostic Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) supplies battery voltage to the cruise control switch. The cruise
control switch signal is an input to the BCM. The BCM monitors the cruise control switch signal
circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to perform a cruise control function. The
BCM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit when a switch is
applied.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
The cruise switch is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3794 08
The BCM detects an invalid voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit is present
for 0.5 second.
B3794 61
The BCM detects an valid voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit is present for
greater 60 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
The Cruise Control System is disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Cruise Control Switch parameter in the BCM. While pressing
each of the cruise control switches, the scan tool display should change to display the current
switch being actuated.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Inflatable
Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement .
2. Disconnect the harness connector at the cruise control switch.
3. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the supply circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If less than the specified range, test the supply circuit for a short to ground or an
open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
4. Verify the scan tool Cruise Control Switch parameter is OFF.
If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to voltage. If the
circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
5. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the cruise control switch.
6. Ignition ON, cruise control switch ON, observe the scan tool Cruise Control Switch
parameter. The parameter should display ON.
If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to ground or an
open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the cruise control
switch.
7. Observe the scan tool Cruise Control Switch parameter while pressing the RES + portion of
the cruise control switch. The parameter should display Resume.
If not the specified value, test or replace the cruise control switch.
8. Observe the scan tool Cruise Control Switch parameter while pressing the SET - portion of
the cruise control switch. The parameter should display Set.
If not the specified value, test or replace the cruise control switch.
9. Observe the scan tool Cruise Control Switch parameter while pressing the Cancel portion of
the cruise control switch. The parameter should display Cancel.
If not the specified value, test or replace the cruise control switch.
10. If all circuits and the component test normal, replace the BCM.
Component Testing
1. Ignition OFF, remove the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Refer to Inflatable
Restraint Steering Wheel Module Replacement .
2. Remove the steering wheel cruise control switch. Refer to Steering Wheel Control Switch
Assembly Replacement .
3. Connect a DMM between terminals 1 and 3 of the cruise control switch. Cruise control
ON/OFF switch ON, measure the resistance while individually activating and holding each
cruise control function switch and compare the resistance reading to the values in the table
for the appropriate switch.
IMPORTANT: The cruise control switch must be ON in order to properly
measure the resistance of the -/SET, the +/RES, and the Cancel
switches.
