Stratus Sedan V6-2.7L (2001)
Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation
There are two separate switch pods that operate the speed control system and are located on the steering wheel.
The speed control system has five separate resistive switches that provide a single multiplexed (MUX) voltage inputs to the PCM. The switch names are:
ON, OFF, SET COAST, RESUME, ACCEL, TAP-UP, COAST, and CANCEL. Based on conditions when the buttons are pushed (and released), the
five voltages ranges provided to the PCM result in the following functions: ON, OFF, SET, COAST RESUME, ACCEL, TAP-UP TAP-DOWN,
COAST and CANCEL. Refer to the Speed Control for more information.
Also the PCM receives an input from the brake switch to sense whether the brake pedal has been depressed. When the PCM receives the brake depressed
input, it turns off power to the speed control servo and disengages speed control. Also the power to the servo is supplied through the brake switch, which
opens the circuit when the brake pedal is depressed.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one switch fails, the entire switch module must be replaced.
