Q: What does code P1583 mean?

Cruise Direction Circuit High Volume. P1583 on GM vehicles indicates that the cruise control module has detected an abnormally high voltage or current on the cruise direction control circuit, which is the wiring path from the steering wheel switches to the module. The computer sets this code when the signal voltage exceeds the expected range for the direction command, typically because of a short to voltage or a faulty switch.
