Circuit/System Testing
Important: Refer to DTC B3794 (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures/B Code Charts/B3794) before performing this diagnostic, if this code is set as current or history.
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel controls switch-left.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the low reference circuit terminal 9 and B+.
‹› If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal,
replace the BCM.
3. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the steering wheel controls switch-left.

Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the cruise control engaged indicator based on serial data messages received from the body control module
(BCM). The indicator is commanded ON when the cruise control system is controlling vehicle speed, and turned OFF with the system disengaged.
