DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Speed Control
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
31 , Speed Control for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
The speed control system is designed to maintain vehicle speed above 48 km/h (30 mph). After the
ON switch is depressed, depressing the SET/ACCEL switch will activate the speed control servo. To
increase a set speed, either depress and hold for continuous acceleration, or momentarily tap the
SET/ACCEL switch for 1.6 km/h (1 mph) acceleration increments. To decrease a set speed, depress
and hold the COAST switch until the target speed is reached, or momentarily tap the COAST switch
for 1.6 km/h (1 mph) deceleration increments. When the speed control system has been disabled by
tapping the brake pedal, the RESUME switch can be depressed and the vehicle will return to the
original set speed if the vehicle is traveling over 48 km/h (30 mph) and the OFF switch has not been
depressed.
NOTE: The deactivator switch is provided as an additional safety feature. Normally, when the brake
pedal is depressed, an electrical signal from the brake lamp circuit to the speed control servo will
deactivate the system. Under increased brake pedal effort, the deactivator switch will open and
remove power to the speed control servo, releasing the throttle independent of the speed control
servo.
NOTE: The air bag sliding contract provides the electrical interface between the steering column wiring
and the speed control actuator switches in the steering wheel.
The inputs to the speed control servo are the:
zvehicle speed signal.

The boost pressure gauge on the instrument cluster receives and measures the boost pressure
directly from the intake manifold. The boost pressure gauge will display between 0.0-
0.48 kpa (0.0-10
psi) boost pressure dependent upon accelerator position, engine load, and engine rpm.
LOW FUEL Level Indicator
The low fuel level indicator is hardwired from the fuel sender to the instrument cluster. The instrument
cluster will illuminate the low fuel indicator when the usable fuel quantity is less than 1/8 tank (15%) of
fuel tank capacity.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge is hardwired from the oil pressure switch to the instrument cluster. The oil
pressure gauge will indicate either normal or no oil pressure.
CHECK FUEL CAP
The CHECK FUEL CAP indicator is used to indicate significant leaks in the fuel tank evaporative
system due to a loose fuel cap. Fuel tank pressure is monitored by the PCM. If a leak is detected the
PCM signals a fault to the instrument cluster via the SCP network. Once the PCM has detected a
loose fuel cap and the CHECK FUEL CAP indicator is illuminated, the indicator will remain illuminated
until the fuel cap is secured and the vehicle has been running for several minutes. For additional
information, refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
BRAKE Warning Indicator
The BRAKE warning indicator activates when the generic electronic module (GEM) detects the ignition
switch circuits are in the RUN state, when the GEM detects low brake fluid level, or that the parking
brake is applied. The BRAKE warning indicator will prove out starting when the GEM detects that the
ignition circuits have made a transition to RUN or START from OFF, ACC, or keyout and ending when
either three seconds have elapsed or when the GEM detects the ignition circuits have made a
transition to OFF, ACC, or keyout.
Safety Belt Warning Indicator
The safety belt switch is hardwired to the GEM. The safety belt warning indicator will be illuminated
when the GEM sends a ground signal to the instrument cluster.
ABS Warning Indicator
The ABS warning indicator will be illuminated when the anti- lock brake control module sends a ground
signal to the instrument cluster. The prove- out of the ABS indicator is controlled by the anti- lock brake
control module.
SERVICE ENGINE SOON Indicator
The SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator receives its signal from the PCM over the SCP network. If the
instrument cluster does not receive a message from the PCM within five seconds, the instrument
cluster will illuminate the SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator and log a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
High Beam Indicator
The high beam indicator will illuminate when the steering column multifunction switch is in the high
beam position by sending a battery signal to the instrument cluster. Right and Left Turn Indicator Klj . 3 ba
