Self-Test Diagnostics
WARNING:
This test is a key on engine off (KOEO) test only that is conducted in park only with emergency brake
fully engaged.
l Enter Self-Test Diagnostics by depressing the speed control OFF switch while turning the ignition
key ON, making sure the engine does not start and is not running. The speed control indicator lamp
on the instrument panel will flash once to indicate that the speedcontrol module entered the
diagnostic mode. Five additional flashes at this point indicate a defective speed control servo.
Release the OFF switch.
l Note:
If the ON switch is not pressed within five seconds after entering diagnostic mode, the module times
out and the procedure must be started over.
Press the remaining switches in this sequence: ON, RSM (resume), CST (coast) and SET/ACCEL.
l The speed control indicator lamp will flash as each switch is pressed. Press each switch in the
sequence immediately after the light goes out for the previous switch.
l After all five speed control switches complete the sequence, the indicator lamp will flash to indicate
a pass or fail:
1 flash - Test passed (with dynamic throttle pull).
2 flashes - BPP switch is defective, circuit is defective or brake pedal is applied; CPP switch is
defective, circuit is defective orclutch pedal is applied.
3 flashes - Brake deactivation switch is open or circuit is defective.
4 flashes - Vehicle speed sensor is out of range or not connected.
l Immediately after the static test has passed, the speed control servo will then perform a dynamic
test automatically by actuating the throttle lever from 1 mm to 10 mm of travel from the idle position.
During the dynamic throttle pull, observe throttle movement to witness any binding or sticking of the
actuator cable, verify the correct connection of the actuator cable to the throttle lever, and make sure
the throttle returns back to the idle position. If improper connection and/or binding or sticking of
actuator is observed, go to Symptom Chart.
l Return the ignition switch to the OFF position and proceed to Symptom Chart.
