DTC P0567 6.6L and 7.8L
Circuit Description
The cruise control resume/accel switch is an input to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to accelerate the set vehicle speed or to resume the cruise control system. The ECM module detects a voltage signal on the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit when the switch is applied. This DTC sets if the ECM detects that voltage is present on the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit for longer than 90 seconds.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0567 (6.6L and 7.8L) Cruise Control Resume Switch Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The cruise control switch is ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the resume/accel switch is applied for longer than 90 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The ECM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
| • | The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records. |
| • | The cruise control system is disabled. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | A last test failed, or the current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if failures are not reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL/DTC. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Ensure that the resume/accel switch is not stuck or sticking in the engaged position. |
| • | For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections . |

DTC P0567 8.1L
Circuit Description
The cruise control resume/accel switch is an input to the throttle actuator control (TAC) module. The TAC module uses the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to accelerate the set vehicle speed or to resume the cruise control system. The TAC module detects a voltage signal on the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit when the switch is applied. The TAC module sends a serial data signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) via the serial data circuit. This DTC sets if the PCM receives a serial data signal from the TAC module indicating that voltage is present on the cruise control resume/accel switch signal circuit for longer than 90 seconds.
