3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.

4. Inspect for a damaged sensor bracket, sensor fascia cover and cover foam or front bumper cover. If evidence of damage, carry out the Cruise Control Module (C-CM) (with Sensor) Adjustment Adjustments vertical alignment. If the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) bracket is damaged, refer to Cruise-Control Module (C-CM) to replace the bracket.

5. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).


6. NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC (Data Link Connector) are provided to the VCM (Vehicle Communication Module).

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM (Vehicle Communication Module) :

- Check the VCM (Vehicle Communication Module) connection to the vehicle.

- Check the scan tool connection to the VCM (Vehicle Communication Module).

- Refer to - No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.


7. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
- Verify the ignition is in the ON position.

- Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.

- to diagnose no response from the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) or the PCM.


8. Carry out the network test.
- If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Information Bus.

- If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.


9. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module), PCM, and the ABS module.

10. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. For all other DTCs, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in Body Control Systems. Cruise Control Body Control Systems/ Body Control Module

11. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
