is pressed, continuity should be present between terminals No. 2 and
3. See Fig. 14. When brake pedal is released, continuity should be
present between terminals No. 1 and 4. Replace switch if it does not
test as specified.
CLOCKSPRING TEST
WARNING: Deactivate air bag system before performing any service
operation. See AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. Do not
apply electrical power to any component on steering column
without first deactivating air bag system. Air bag may
deploy.
If clockspring fails any check, replace with a NEW
clockspring.
1) Check connectors and protective tube for damage and
deformities.
2) Visually check case for damage or deformities.

Throttle Position Sensor
1) Disconnect sensor connector. Resistance between terminals
No. 1 and 4 should be 3500-6500 ohms. Use an analog ohmmeter to
measure resistance between terminals No. 1 and 3. See Fig. 25.
2) Slowly open throttle valve to wide open throttle.
Resistance should change smoothly as throttle is opened. Replace
throttle position sensor if it does not test as specified.

switch connector. Operate and test switch. When CANCEL switch is
operated between terminals No. 1 and 2, zero ohms resistance should be
indicated.
2) When RESUME switch is operated, 820 ohms resistance should
be present between terminals No. 1 and 2. When SET switch is operated,
2700 ohms resistance should be present between terminals No. 1 and 2.
Replace cruise control switch if it does not test as specified.

1) To clear trouble codes, disconnect battery cable, or use
alternative method to prevent memory loss.
2) Turn ignition on. Turn main cruise control switch and SET
switch to ON position, and within one second, turn RES switch to ON
position. Hold stoplight switch and cruise control switch in ON
position for greater than 5 seconds. Verify codes are cleared.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
