Circuit Description

The cruise control switch is an input to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors the cruise control switch signal circuit in order to detect when a cruise control function has been requested. The ECM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast and resume/accelerate switch signal circuit when a cruise control function switch is activated, with each switch having a different predetermined voltage value.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0567 Cruise Control Resume Switch Circuit

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    •  The engine is running.
    • Battery voltage is greater than 7.9956 voltage.
    • The ECM detects the switch is switching too quickly or stuck for too long.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
    • The ECM will record operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fail. This information will be stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records buffers.
    •  A history DTC is stored.
    • The A/C compressor operation will be disabled while the low voltage indication exists.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault.
    • DTCs can be cleared by using the scan tool.
    • Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than 10 seconds

Diagnostic Aids

Perform the following in order to avoid misdiagnosis:

    • Rotate the steering wheel to both steering stops and activate each cruise control switch separately. With a scan tool, observe the associated cruise control switch parameter. This will help eliminate the possibility of an internally open or shorted contact coil.
    • Ensure that the resume/accel switch is not stuck or sticking in the engaged position.
