Inspection and Verification
- Verify the customer concern.
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical Throttle body Battery junction box (BJB) fuse 49 (15A) Wiring, terminals or connectors Speed control switch Clutch pedal speed control deactivator switch (manual transaxle) Digital transmission range (TR) sensor (automatic transaxle) Speed control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch) Stoplamp switch PCM
- If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
- Verify the speedometer operates correctly without speed control by test driving the vehicle. If the speedometer does not operate correctly, refer to «INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC), MESSAGE CENTER, AND WARNING CHIMES»(ref-291880) article.
- Verify the stoplamp operate correctly with the ignition switch in the ON position. If the stoplamp do not operate correctly, refer to «EXTERIOR LIGHTING»(ref-291872) article.
- Verify the parking brake warning indicator is operating correctly. If the parking brake warning indicator does not operate correctly, refer to «INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC), MESSAGE CENTER, AND WARNING CHIMES»(ref-291880) article.
- If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
- If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: Check the VCM connection to the vehicle. Check the scan tool connection to the VCM. Refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-291879) article, No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no communication with the scan tool.
- If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle: Verify the ignition key is in the ON position. Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle. Refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-291879) article to diagnose no response from the PCM.
- Carry out the network test. If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-291879) article. If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.
- Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the PCM.
- If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. For all other DTCs, refer to «MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES»(ref-291878) article.
- If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to «Symptom Chart»(ref-291942-S24303384282008073000000) .
