B3623



DTC B3623

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION




The body control module (BCM) monitors the adaptive cruise control (ACC) gap adjustment switch signal circuit to determine the driver selected headway. The gap switch is a momentary contact switch that connects a series of resistors. Each switch state, inactive, up and down, corresponds to a specific resistance value. The BCM determines the switch selection by the voltage drop across the resistor. The BCM sets DTC B3623 when it detects a stuck gap up/down switch.
