Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.
WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

NOTE: It may be necessary to test drive the vehicle and operate the speed control in order for this DTC to set.
With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

1. Turn the ignition off.
  NOTE: The steering wheel airbag must be removed to access the speed control switch connector. Refer to the appropriate Service information prior to removing the steering wheel airbag.
2. Disconnect the Speed Control Switch harness connector.
  NOTE: When checking circuits, be careful not to damage or distort the connector terminals. Improper measurement technique could result in poor pin to terminal contact.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit and the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit in the Speed Control Switch harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With a scan tool, read the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage.
  NOTE: The (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage should be below 0.2 of a Volt with the jumper wire in place.
  
  Is the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage below 0.2 of a Volt with the jumper wire in place?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Speed Control Switch in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 3
SPEED CONTROL SWITCH WIRING HARNESS
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Clockspring C8 harness connector.
  NOTE: When checking circuits, be careful not to damage or distort the connector terminals. Improper measurement technique could result in poor pin to terminal contact.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit and the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit in the Clockspring C8 connector, not at the harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With a scan tool, read the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage.
  NOTE: The (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage should be below 0.2 of a Volt with the jumper wire in place.
  
  Is the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage below 0.2 of a Volt with the jumper wire in place?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the wiring harness between the Speed Control switch and the Clockspring/Clockspring.
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 4
CLOCKSPRING

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Clockspring C2 harness connector.
  NOTE: When checking circuits, be careful not to damage or distort the connector terminals. Improper measurement technique could result in poor pin to terminal contact.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit and the (V937) S/C Switch Ground circuit in the Clockspring C2 harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With a scan tool, read the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage.
  NOTE: The (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage should be below 0.2 of a Volt with the jumper wire in place.
  
  Is the (V72) S/C Signal 2 voltage below 0.2 of a Volt with the jumper wire in place?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Clockspring in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 5
(V72) S/C SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Measure the voltage of the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit in the Clockspring C2 harness connector.
  Is there any voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (V72) S/C Signal 2 circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
