DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING -

Symptom:
P0581-SPEED CONTROL SWITCH #1 HIGH

When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0581-SPEED CONTROL SWITCH #1 HIGH
When Monitored: With the ignition key on. Battery voltage above 10 volts.
Set Condition: The PCM detects an open or short to voltage in the Speed Control Switch
Signal circuit. One Trip Fault.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
SPEED CONTROL SWITCH VOLTAGE HIGH
SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES
(V37) S/C SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE
(K4) SENSOR GROUND OPEN

PCM
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
_______________________________________________________
Test 1:
NOTE: Do not press any of the Speed Control Switch buttons.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIIIt, read the Speed Control voltage.
Is the Speed Control voltage above 4.8 volt?
All
Yes ! Go To 2
No ! Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION symptom in the
Driveability category.Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 4 - NGC.
_________________________________________________________
Test 2
Turn the ignition off.
Remove the Speed Control Switches from the steering wheel.
Measure the resistance across each Speed Control Switch.
Monitor the ohmmeter while pressing each function button on each switch.
Resume/Accel - 15,400 ohms
Cancel - 909 +/- 9 ohms
Decel (Coast) - 2940 +/- 30 ohms
On/Off - 0 ohms
Set - 6650 +/- 66 ohms
Does the function on the Speed Control Switches have the correct ohm value?
All
Yes ! Go To 3
No ! Replace the Speed Control Switch that had the incorrect resistance
value.Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 4 - NGC.
440
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
_______________________________________________________
Test 3
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Speed Control On/Off Switch harness connector.
Disconnect the Speed Control Resume/Accel Switch harness connector.
Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
Measure the voltage of the (V37) S/C Switch Signal circuit at the Speed Control
harness connector.
Is the is the voltage above 5.0 volts?
All
Yes ! Repair the (V37) S/C Switch Signal circuit shorted to the battery
voltage.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 4 - NGC.
No ! Go To 4
___________________________________________________________
Test 4
NOTE: The measurement must be taken from both Speed Control Switch
harness connector.
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Speed Control On/Off Switch harness connector.
Disconnect the Speed Control Resume/Accel Switch harness connector.
Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING
THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS
RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL
MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.
Measure the resistance of the (K4) Sensor Ground circuit from the Speed Control
harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms for both measurement?
All
Yes ! NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector
terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Repair as
necessary. Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module
in accordance with the Service Information.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 4 - NGC.
No ! Repair the (K4) Sensor Ground circuit for an open.

If by CC you mean cruise control.... that's ok, I DON'T even have cruise control, WTF?
