DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR SPEED
SWITCH
CONTROL SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
critical input and output circuits of the speed control
system, making sure they are operational. A Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and
output circuit monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) system. Some circuits are checked continu-
ously and some are checked only under certain con-
ditions. SWITCH RESISTANCE BETWEEN

(1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait 2 min-
utes for airbag system capacitor to discharge.
(2) Remove the two speed control switch modules
from steering wheel. Refer to the removal/installation
section for procedures.
(3) Check continuity of each individual speed con-
trol switch module as shown i n chart (Fig. 1). I f OK,
reinstall switch. I f not OK, replace switch module
assembly.

For continuity checks and switch adjustment, refer
to Group 5, Brakes.
VACUUM SUPPLY TEST
Gasoline Powered Engines:
On gasoline powered engines: actual engine vac-
uum, a vacuum reservoir, a one-way check valve and
vacuum lines are used to supply vacuum to the speed
control servo.
(1) Disconnect vacuum hose at speed control servo
and install a vacuum gauge into the disconnected
hose.
Fig. 1 Speed Control Switch Continuity (Typical
Switch Shown)
(2) Start engine and observe gauge at idle. Vac-
uum gauge should read at least ten inches of mer-
cury.
(3) I f vacuum is less than ten inches of mercury,
determine source of leak. Check vacuum line to
engine for leaks. Also check actual engine intake
manifold vacuum. I f manifold vacuum does not meet
this requirement, check for poor engine performance
and repair as necessary.
(4) I f vacuum line to engine is not leaking, check
for leak at vacuum reservoir. To locate and gain
access to reservoir, refer to Vacuum Reservoir Remov-
al/Installation i n this group. Disconnect vacuum line
at reservoir and connect a hand-operated vacuum
pump to reservoir fitting. Apply vacuum. Reservoir
vacuum should not bleed off. I f vacuum is being lost,
replace reservoir.
(5) Verify operation of one-way check valve and
check i t for leaks.
(a) Locate one-way check valve. The valve is
located i n vacuum line between vacuum reservoir
and engine vacuum source. Disconnect vacuum
hoses (lines) at each end of valve.
(b) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to
reservoir end of check valve. Apply vacuum. Vac-
uum should not bleed off. I f vacuum is being lost,
replace one-way check valve.
(c) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to
vacuum source end of check valve. Apply vacuum.
Vacuum should flow through valve. I f vacuum is
not flowing, replace one-way check valve. Seal the
fitting at opposite end of valve w i t h a finger and
