Cruise control buttons are almost always a resistor ladder on one or two signal lines, each button giving its own voltage; the module reading it (GM and Saab from about 2010: the body module; FCA: steering column module or PCM) sends the button state to the engine module over CAN. CARB names cruise control as the example of an emission-neutral diagnosis – it is simply switched off – so GM lists all these codes as type C and Ford as non-MIL: no warning lamp, the engine runs normally. P0567 concerns the resume button. GM sets it when the button is reported pressed for over 89 s – much longer than the 20 s for on or cancel, because holding resume to accelerate is normal. The body module in the Saab 9-4X also sets it for an invalid voltage for 2 s.
Low severity. Can I keep driving?You can keep driving, but check that the brake lights work: that part is a safety issue.
Symptoms
- Stored speed cannot be resumed
- Cruise control locked out
- No check engine light, engine runs normally
Most likely causes
- Resume button stuck or faulty
- Moisture or wear in the steering wheel switch
- Contact resistance in clockspring or steering wheel connector
- Body module or cruise module
What to check, in order
Start with the simplest. You can tick off each step.
Good to know
- Repair difficulty: medium
What each character of P0567 means
- P: Powertrain: engine and transmission
- 0: Generic code: same on every make
- 5: Speed and idle
- 67: Specific fault in that system
