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 60 seconds.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0567 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 60 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 .
