1 General Information
A new cruise control system has been introduced due to changes in the powertrain architecture and c omponents. There
is no longer a cruise control modu le, instead the management has been taken over by the engine controllers; engine
control module (ECM) for V6 and powertrain control module (PCM) for GEN III V8. The powertrain interface module
(PIM) and throttle actuator control module (TACM) (GEN III V8 only) also have important roles in the cruise control
system.
To the user, the system operates as previously, with all controls through the cruise control switch assembly and cruise
control messages presented through the instrument cluster. For vehicles fitted with the V6 refer to
1.2 System Operation – V6; for V8 vehicles refer to 1.3 System Operation – GEN III V8.
The cruise control system now has an
additional fail safe feature. The brake pedal
must be pressed in the ignition cycle for the
cruise control to be engaged. The cruise
control will not engage until this is done.
1.1 Components
Components V6
The main components of the electronic cruise control s ystem are:
• cruise control switch assembly (incorporated into the turn signal switch assembly),
• instrument cluster assembly,
• clutch pedal position s witch assembly (manual transmission vehicles only),
• stop lamp and BTSI switch assembly,
• cruise control release and extended brake travel switch assembly,
• powertrain interface module (PIM),
• engine control module (ECM),
• body control module (BCM)
• throttle actuator assembly, and
• electrical wiring (incorporate d into the main wiring harness).

Instrument Cluster Assembly
The instrument cluster assembly displa ys the status of the cruise control system as well as other information through its
multi–function display an d warning indicators. Refer to Section 12C Instrumentatio n for further information.
Figure 12E – 3
Clutch Pedal Switch (Manual Only)
There are two clutch pedal switch assem blies, however only one has input to the cruise control system. It is the switch
assembly facing away from the firewall, attached to the clutch pedal support. This switch is normally closed when the
clutch pedal is at rest, opening when the pedal is pressed. Activation of this switch removes the signal to the ECM which
will then deactivate the cruise control.
Stop Lamp and BTSI Switch Assembly
The stop lamp and BTSI s witch assembly is located on the brake pedal support. The function of the switch assembly in
the cruise control system is to deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is pr essed. The stop lamp switch is a
normally open switch with the brake pedal at rest; the BTSI a normally closed s witch. The BTSI switch does not have any
control over the cruise control system.
Cruise Control Release and Extended Brake Travel Switch Assembly
The cruise control release and extended brake travel switch assembly is located on the brake ped al su pport. The
function of the switch assembly in the cruise control system is to deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is
pressed. Both switches are normally closed when the brake pedal is at rest.
Powertrain Interface Module
The Powertrain Interface Module (PIM) is located on the ins trument pan el driver’s outer bracket. The purpose of the PIM
is to act as an interface between the drivetrai n seria l data bus (GMLAN protocol) and the body side data bus (UART Bus
protocol). All inputs from the cruise control switch assembly are directly wired to the PIM. The PIM then takes these
inputs, converts them to GMLAN protocol and transmits the messages through the data bus to the engi ne control module
(ECM). The PIM also receives signals for the cruise control system from the ECM. When the ECM activates cruise
control, it sends a signal through the PIM (which converts it from GMLAN to UART protocol) to display the various cruise
control messages on the instrument cluster assembly.
For further information on the operation of the PIM, refer to Section 6E1 Powertrain Interface Module – V6.
Engine Control Module
The Engine Control Module (ECM) is mounted on the front of the engine. The role of the ECM is to receive all the i np uts
from various sensors (vehicle speed (VSS) etc.) and switches to manage the engine. When a request is sent to from the
cruise control switch assembly via the PIM to the ECM, the ECM will activate cruise control providing given parameters
are satisfied. Once the cruise is set, the ECM monitors the vehicle speed a nd controls the throttle actuator assembly thus
controlling the spee d of the vehicle.
For further information on the operation of the ECM,
refer to Section 6C1-1 Engine Management – V6 – General Information.
Body Control Module (BCM)
The BCM is lo cated be neath the i nstrumen t cluster t o the right of the st eering colu mn. The role of the body control
module (BCM) in the cruise control system, is to act as bus master.
For further information on the operation of the BCM, refer to Section 12J Body Control Module.
Throttle Actuator Assembly
The throttle actuator assembly is located on the front of the inlet manifold. The throttle actuator assembly receives
signals from the ECM and controls the angle of the throttle plate.
Refer to Section 6C1-1 Engine Management – V6 – General Information for further information.

The clutch pedal s witch assembl y is attached to the clutch pedal support. This switch is normally closed when the clutch
pedal is at rest, opening when the pedal is pressed. Activation of this switch removes the signal to the PCM which will
then deactivate the cruise control.
Stop Lamp and BTSI Switch Assembly

The cruise control release and extended brake travel switch assembly is located on the brake ped al su pport. The
function of the switch assembly in the cruise control system is to deactivate the cruise control when the brake pedal is
pressed. Both switches are normally closed when the brake pedal is at rest.
Powertrain Interface Module (PIM)
The Powertrain Interface Module (PIM) is located on the ins trument pan el driver’s outer bracket. The purpose of the PIM
is to act as an interface between the po wertrain serial data bus (Class 2 protocol) and the body side data bus (UART Bus
protocol). The ON–OFF input from the cruise control switch assembly is dir ectly wired to the PIM. When the PIM receives
this input from the switch assembly, it sends a 12 volt signal to the throttle actuator control module (T ACM). The purpose
of the PIM in this case is to take a momentary input and provide a constant signal. The PIM also receives signals for the
cruise control system from the PCM. When the PCM activates cruise control, it sends a signal through the PIM (which
converts it from Class 2 to UART protocol) to activate the various messages on the instrument cluster.
For further information on the operation of the PIM, refer to Section 6E3 Powertrain Interface Module – GEN III V8.
Cruise Control Page 12E–8
Page 12E–8
Throttle Actuator Control Module (TACM)
The throttle actuator control module (TACM) is located behind the left-hand hinge pillar trim assembly. The purpose of
the TACM is to provide additional functionality due to the introducti on of the electronic throttle actuator. The TACM
receives the following direct inputs from the cruise control switch assembly:
• SET-DECEL,
• RES-ACCEL.
The TACM also receives an input from the PIM when the cruise control has been Enabled / Disabled. The T A CM
converts any signals received from the cruise control switch assembly into Class 2 protocol and transmits them to the
powertrain control module. Connected to the TAC module are electrical inputs from the accelerator pedal assembly and
the throttle actuator assembly. The TACM receives commands from the PCM and controls the throttle actuator assembly.
For further information on the TACM,
refer to Section 6C3-1 Powertrain Management – GEN III V8 – General Information.
Body Control Module (BCM)
The BCM is lo cated be neath the i nstrumen t cluster t o the right of the st eering colu mn. The role of the body control
module (BCM) in the cruise control system, is to act as a bus master.
For further information on the operation of the BCM, refer to Section 12J Body Control Module.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The role of the powertrain control module (PCM) in the cruise control system is to receive the various inputs required to
maintain the correct speed and then control the throttle plate, via the TACM, depending on the load on the engine
(ascending or descending hill s, etc).
For further information on the PCM, refer to Section 6C3-1 Powertrain Management – GEN III V8 – General Information.
Throttle Actuator Assembly
The throttle actuator assembly is located on the front of the inlet manifold. T he throttle actuator assembly controls the
angle of the throttle plate in response to signals from the TACM.
For further information refer to Section 6C3-1 Powertrain Management – GEN III V8 – General Information.

Activated and Deactivated
When the cruise control is enabled, the vehic le speed is above 40 km/h and the cruise control switch assembly is turned
to SET–DECEL, the cruise control will be activated and the vehicle will maintain the set speed. When deactivated by the
methods described within this section, the vehicle will no longer maintain the set speed, but the cruise control will still be
engaged.
Cruise Active
When the cruise control is activated via the cruise control
switch assembly, the highlighted ACTIVE icon illuminates
and the Cruise Active animation is disp layed for 2 seconds.
The animation is shown initially with speedometer needle
moving toward the set arrow.

Cruise Deactivated
Upon receiving a signal to deactivate the cruise control the ECM then provides a signal for the instrument cluster, via the
PIM, to inform the user the cruise control is Deactivated.
When the cruise control is deactivated via the cruise control
switch assembly, the brake pedal, or the clutch ped al, the
highlighted ACTI VE icon extinguishes immediately and the
Cruise Inactive animation is displayed for 2 seconds.
Figure 12E – 13
After 2 seconds the animated display extinguishes and the
CRUISE icon remains. The display rev erts back to the
previously displayed trip computer screen.
Figure 12E – 14
Engaging the Cruise Control
Refer to Wiring Diagram – V6 for the following description.
When the ON-OFF button is pressed, 12 V i s applied to the powertrain interface module (PIM) connecto r A5 – X1 pin 4
(circuit 397). This informs the PIM the user has requested the cruise contr ol functio n be engaged or disengage d. This
signal is then output by the PIM as GM LAN protocol along the bus to the engine control modu le (ECM). The ECM
recognises the command from the PIM to engage the cruise control. The ECM then provides a signal for the instrument
cluster, via the PIM, to inform the user the cruise control is engaged.
Brake Before Cruise
Before the cruise control can be activated the driver must have ap plied the brakes and the system received a valid
response at least once per ignition cycle. If the driver manages to drive the vehicle without having used the brakes bef ore
pressing the ON–OFF button, the cruise control can not be activated.
Cruise Control Page 12E–11
Page 12E–11
Activating the Cruise Control
The user activates the cruise control at a desired speed above 40 km/h by rotating the cruise control switch assembly to
SET–DECEL. This provides a 12 V signa l to the PIM through connector A5 – X1 pin 9 (circuit 84). The PIM then outputs
this signal as GM LAN protocol through the data bus to the ECM. If the ECM already has cruise control engaged, upon
receipt of the message from the PIM, the ECM will activate cruise control and set the speed. The ECM receives all the
various inputs required to maintain the correct speed and then controls the throttle plate dependin g on the load on the
engine (ascending or desc en ding hills, etc).
Deactivating the Cruise Control
When the cruise control is activated, it can be deactivated by any of the following:
Pressing the Brake Pedal
When the brake pedal is pr essed, two signals are sent directly to the ECM by the circuits from the brake pedal switch
assembly. The cruise cancel circuit (circuit 86 ) will open (normally closed) thus dropping the supply voltage from the
ECM connector A43 – X2 pin 46. Simultaneo usl y, the stop lamp circuit (circuit 20) will close (normally open) a nd supply
12 V to the ECM at connector A43 – X2 pin 10. This is a double redundancy system so that if either switch or circuit from
the brake pedal switch assembly fails, the cruise control will still be deactivated.
Pressing the Cruise ON–OFF Button
Pressing the cruise control switch assembly ON–OFF button will send a si gnal through the PIM to the ECM to deactivate
the cruise control.
Pressing the Clutch Pedal (Manual Ve hicles Only)
When the clutch pedal is pressed, the cruise control cancel 2 circuit (circuit 379) will open (normally close d) thus
dropping the supply voltage from the ECM connector A43 – X2 pin 53. The ECM then deactivates the cruise control.
Decelerating While Cruise Control is Activated
When the cruise control is activated, the speed can be reduc ed by turning and holding the cruise control switch assembly
to SET–DECEL. When this is done, 12 V is applied to PIM connector A5 – X1 pin 9 (circuit 84). The PIM will then
translate the command to GM LAN protocol and transmit the request to the ECM to reduce the speed. The ECM will then
temporarily disabl e the cruise control and close the throttle plate. The vehicle should then start to decele rate. Once the
operator releases the cruise c ontrol switch assembly, the ECM will receive this signal through the PIM an d will then set
the speed according to the curr ent VSS and maintain that speed.
Resuming a Speed After Cruise Control Has Been Deactivated
If the cruise control system is engaged but deactivated, the last spee d at which it was activated can be resumed. Turning
the cruise control switch assembly to RES–A CCEL will apply 12 V to the PIM at connector A5 – X1 pin 8 (circuit 87). The
PIM will then translate the command to GM LAN protocol and transmit the request to the ECM. The ECM will then rec all
the last stored speed at which the cruise control was activated and increase or reduce engine power to maintain that
speed.
Accelerating While Cruise Control is Activated
Using the Cruise Control Switch Assembly
When the cruise control is active, rotating the cruise control switch assembly to RES–A CCEL will accelerate the vehicle.
The cruise control s witch assembly will supply a 12 V signal to the PIM connector A5 – X1 pin 8 (circuit 87), which is
continuous as long as the switch is held. While the PIM is receiving the 12 V signal, it will continuously transmit to the
ECM to accelerate the vehicle. The ECM will open the throttle plate to accelerate the vehicle. When the de sired speed is
achieved and the cruise control switch assembly is released, the ECM will maintain the vehicle at that speed.
Pressing the Accelerator Pedal
When the cruise control is active, pressing the accelerator pedal will accelerate the vehicle.
Once pressure is removed from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the last stored speed at which the cruise
control was activated and control the throttle plate to maintain that speed.

Refer to Wiring Diagram – GEN III V8 for the following description.
When the ON-OFF button is pressed, 12 V i s applied to the powertrain Interface module (PIM) connector A5 – X1 pin 12
(circuit 397). The PIM the sends a 12 volt signal to the TACM connector A 111 – X1 pin 14 (circuit 696). The TACM then
converts this signal into a UART protocol message which is transmitted to the PCM. Upon receipt of this message, the
PCM will then engage cruise control. The PCM then provides a signal for the instrument cluster, via the PIM, to inform
the user the cruise control is engaged.
Brake Before Cruise
Before the cruise control can be activated the driver must have ap plied the brakes and the system received a valid
response at least once per ignition cycle. If the driver manages to drive the vehicle without having used the brakes bef ore

outputs this signal as Class 2 protocol to the PCM. If the PCM already has cruise control enga ged, upon receipt of the
message from the TACM, the PCM will activate cruise cont rol and set the speed. The PCM receives all the various
inputs required to maintain the correct speed and th en controls the throttle plate, via the TACM, depending on the load
on the engine (ascending or descending hills, etc).
Deactivating the Cruise Control
When the cruise control is activated, it can be deactivated by any of the following:
Pressing the Brake Pedal
When the brake pedal is pr essed, two signals are sent to the PCM by the circuits from the brake pedal switch assembl y.
The cruise cancel circuit (circuit 86) will open (normally closed) thus dropping the sup pl y voltage from the PCM connector
A43 – X1 pin 33. Simultaneou s ly, the stop lamp circuit (circuit 20) will close (normally open) and supply 12 V to the PIM
at connector A43 – X1 pin 2. The PIM will then send a message to the TACM (circuit 5371) indicating the brake pedal
has been pressed.
This is a double redundancy system so that if either switch or circuit from the brake pedal switch assembly fails, the
cruise control will still be deactivated.
Pressing the Cruise ON–OFF Button
Pressing the cruise control switch assembly ON–OFF button closes the cruise on-off circuit sending a signal to the PIM
at connector A5 – X1 pin 12 (circuit 39 7). This will deactivate the constant ON–OFF signal (circuit 696) from the PIM
connector A5 – X1 pin 10 to the TACM connector A111 – X1 pin 14.
Pressing the Clutch Pedal (Manual Ve hicles Only)
When the clutch pedal is pressed a signal is sent directly to the PCM. Upon pressing the clutch pedal, the clutch switch
(normally closed) will open thu s dropping the supply voltage from the PCM connector A43 – X1 pin 33 (circuit 86).
Decelerating While Cruise Control is Activated
When the cruise control is active, rotating the cruise control switch assembly to SET –DECEL will decelerate the vehicle.
The cruise control s witch assembly will supply a 12 V signal to TACM connector A111 – X1 pin 4 (circuit 84), which is
continuous as long as the switch is held. The TACM then outputs this signal to the PCM as Class 2 protocol to the PCM.
The PCM will then temporarily disable the cruise control and the TACM will close the throttle plate. The vehicle should
then start to decelerate. Once the operator releases the cru ise control switch assembly, the PCM will receive this signal
through the TACM and will then set the speed according to the current VSS and maintain that speed.
Resuming a Speed After Cruise Control Has Been Deactivated
If the cruise control system is engaged but deactivated, the last spee d at which it was activated can be resumed. Turning
the cruise control switch assembly to RES–A CCEL will apply 12 V to the TACM at connector A111 – X1 pin 5 (circuit 87).
The TACM will then translate the command to Class 2 protocol and transmit the request to the PCM. The PCM will then
recall the last stored speed at which the cruise control was activated and increase or reduce engine power to maintain
that speed.
Accelerating While Cruise Control is Activated
Using the Cruise Control Switch Assembly
When the cruise control is active, rotating the cruise control switch assembly to RES–A CCEL will accelerate the vehicle.
The cruise control s witch assembly will supply a 12 V signal to the TACM at connector A111 – X1 pin 5 (circuit 87), which
is continuous as long as the switch is held. W hile the TACM is receiving the 12 V signal, it will continuously transmit to
the PCM to accelerate the vehicle. The PCM will open the throttle plate to accelerate the vehicle. When the desired
speed is achieved and the cr uise control switch assembly is released, the PCM will maintain the vehicle at that speed.
Pressing the Accelerator Pedal
When the cruise control is active, pressing the accelerator pedal will accelerate the vehicle.
Once pressure is removed from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the last stored speed at which the cruise
control was activated and control the throttle plate to maintain that speed.
