Q: What does code P1569 mean?

Cruise Servo Stroke High While Not In Cruise. P1569 means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected that the cruise control servo's stroke position is higher than expected while the cruise system is not engaged. The servo is reporting that it is extended or out of its normal resting position even though you are not using cruise control, which points to a mechanical binding, a faulty servo, or a wiring issue in the cruise circuit.
