A P0649 trouble code indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or one of the other control modules has detected a problem with the speed control lamp circuit. In addition to the PCM, other control modules that might detect this fault include the alternative fuel control module, anti-theft control module, anti-lock brake control module, body control module, climate control module, cruise control module, fuel injection control module, instrument panel control module, proximity alert module, traction control module, and turbo control module. Some related codes include the P0648 and P0650 trouble codes.
When a problem with the speed control lamp circuit is detected, a code is stored on the PCM and the Check Engine Light illuminates. Some vehicle models require multiple drive cycles, up to eight, with a failure before the Check Engine Light illuminates.
