9.SPEED CONTROL SWITCH VOLTAGE VALUES

SWITCH POSITION	SWITCH No.1 VOLTAGE VALUE	SWITCH No.2 VOLTAGE VALUE
NO SWITCHES PRESSED	4.31 to 4.78 volts	4.31 to 4.78 volts
ON/OFF PRESSED	0.59 to 1.13 volts	3.53 to 3.92 volts
RES/ACCEL PRESSED	3.88 to 4.17 volts	2.04 to 2.47 volts
SET PRESSED	3.16 to 3.56 volts	1.17 to 1.56 volts
COAST PRESSED	2.57 to 2.94 volts	0.77 to 1.09 volts
CANCEL PRESSED	1.59 to 1.99 volts	2.84 to 3.25 volts

Are the voltage readings out of the listed specification and is there less than a 0.2 of a volt difference between the voltmeter switch values and the scan tool switch values?

Yes

Replace the Speed Control Switch.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
