Cruise Control Resume Signal Malfunction
The P0567 code indicates a malfunction in the cruise control resume signal circuit. This typically occurs when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects an incorrect voltage or signal from the resume switch or related wiring. The cruise control system uses this signal to resume a previously set speed. A fault can prevent the cruise control from engaging or resuming, often due to a faulty switch, wiring issues, or a problem with the brake or clutch switch interlock.
01. Most Common Causes
- Faulty cruise control resume switch
- Damaged or corroded wiring/connectors in the cruise control circuit
- Malfunctioning brake or clutch switch (interlock)
- Failed PCM (rare)
02. Symptoms You Will Notice
- Cruise control does not resume set speed
- Cruise control may not engage at all
- Check Engine Light illuminated
03. Step-by-Step Diagnosis
Step 1: Use an OBD2 scanner to confirm code P0567 and check for other related codes.
Step 2: Visually inspect the cruise control resume switch and wiring for damage or corrosion.
Step 3: Test the resume switch continuity with a multimeter; replace if faulty.
Step 4: Check brake and clutch switch operation; adjust or replace if necessary.
Step 5: Clear codes and test drive to verify repair.
