Symptom:
SPEED CONTROL DENIED MESSAGE
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 At this time the S/C switch and servo functions appear to operate properly.
Using the DRB, monitor the speed control9cutout9status.
Road test the vehicle at speeds over 30mph and attempt to set the speed control.
The following items will not allow the speed control to set. The last or most recent
cause for speed control not to set is indicated by the9Denied9status.
If ON/OFF Denied message is indicated, the Powertrain Control Module does not see
an9ON9signal from the switch at cavity 41.
If SPEED Denied message is indicated, the vehicle speed as seen by the Powertrain
Control Module at cavity 66 is not greater than 36 mph.
If RPM Denied message is indicated, the engine rpm is excessively high.
If BRAKE Denied message is indicated, the Brake Switch Sense Circuit is open
indicating to the PCM that the Brakes are applied. The Sense Circuit, cavity 62 of the
PCM, is grounded through the Brake Pedal Switch when the Brakes are released.
If P/N Denied message is indicated, Park/Neutral Switch Sense Circuit is grounded
indicating to PCM that transmission is not in gear. The Sense Circuit, cavity 76 of
PCM, is grounded through the Park/Neutral Switch when transmission is in park or
neutral.
If RPM/SPD Denied message is indicated, the PCM senses excessive engine rpm for
a given vehicle speed.
If SOL FLT Denied message is indicated, the Powertrain Control Module senses a
Servo Solenoid Circuit trouble code that is maturing or set in memory.All

VERIFICATION TEST VER-4A APPLICABILITY
Speed Control Verification
Use this test to verify that the Speed Control symptom has been repaired and that the vehicle
can be returned to the customer.
Note: If the Powertrain Control Module has been replaced and the correct VIN and
mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS, Airbag and the
SKIM modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable starting. Refer to
GENERAL INFORMATION section for programming information for the PCM, SKIM
and the Transponder (ignition key).
1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected
properly.
2. With the DRBIIIt, Clear DTC's.
3. Road test the vehicle at a speed above 35 MPH.
4. Turn the Speed Control ON.
5. Press and release the Set switch. Verify that the speed control engages.
6. With the Speed Control engaged:
A. Press and hold the ACCEL switch. Verify that the speed increases.
B. Press and hold the SET (or DECEL) switch. Verify that the vehicle speed decreases.
C. Press and release the CANCEL switch. Verify that the Speed Control disengages.
D. Allow the vehicle speed to drop below 25 MPH. Press and release the RESUME switch.
Verify that the previously set vehicle speed is attained.
E. Using caution, press and release the brake pedal. Verify that the Speed Control
disengages.
F. Increase vehicle speed by at least 10 MPH. Press and release the SET switch. Verify the
Speed Control maintains this speed.
G. Press and release the ON/OFF switch (turn the Speed Control OFF.) Verify that the Speed
Control disengages.
If any or all of these functions are not operating properly, refer to the symptom list for the
appropriate diagnostic testing procedures.
7. With the DRBIIIt, Read DTC's. If the DTC returns, or any other symptom or DTC is present,
refer to the symptom list for further diagnostic testing procedures. Check for any Technical
Service Bulletins that may apply.
8. If there are no DTC's present and all components are functioning properly, the repair is
complete.All
