Conditions for Running the DTC

    • Cruise control is enabled.
    • Cruise control is engaged.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The Active Braking Control system is applying the brakes with the cruise control still engaged.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The PCM disables cruise control.
    • The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
    • The PCM will store the conditions which were present when the DTC set as Fail Records data only.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
    • The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool's Clear DTC Information function.

Diagnostic Aids

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is an information DTC only. The DTC indicates the reason that the PCM disabled the cruise control system. Be sure to verify the conditions that set the DTC with the customer.

Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may assist in diagnosing the condition. This information may help determine how often the condition that set the DTC occurred.
