P0567Cruise Control Resume Signal

P0567 indicates that the cruise control module has detected a problem with the resume signal circuit, which is the command that tells the system to return to the previously set speed after a cancel or brake event. The computer monitors the voltage or signal from the resume switch and sets this code when the signal is out of expected range or inconsistent with other inputs.

Symptoms you may notice

  • The cruise control resume function does not work when you press the resume button.
  • The cruise control may not engage at all, or it may cancel unexpectedly.
  • The cruise control warning light or a general powertrain warning light may illuminate.
  • The resume button may feel unresponsive or require excessive force.
  • Often no symptoms besides the warning light, especially if the fault is intermittent.

Common causes, most likely first

  1. Faulty resume/accelerate switch inside the steering wheel or stalk.
  2. Damaged or worn clock spring (spiral cable) in the steering column.
  3. Open or shorted wiring in the resume signal circuit.
  4. Corroded or loose electrical connectors at the switch or cruise control module.
  5. Failed cruise control module or electronic control unit (ECU) internal fault.
  6. Brake pedal position switch misadjustment or failure affecting resume logic.
  7. Aftermarket accessories or poor previous repairs interfering with the circuit.

How to diagnose and fix it

  1. Verify the code with a scan tool and check for any related codes in the cruise control system.
  2. Inspect the resume switch for physical damage or sticking, and test its resistance or continuity if specifications are available.
  3. Check the wiring and connectors between the switch and the cruise control module for corrosion, chafing, or loose pins.
  4. Test the clock spring for continuity and shorts, especially if the horn or other steering wheel controls are also malfunctioning.
  5. Inspect the brake pedal position switch for proper adjustment and function, as it can inhibit resume operation.
  6. If all external components test good, substitute a known-good cruise control module or ECU to rule out internal failure.
  7. Clear the code and perform a road test to confirm the repair, ensuring the resume function operates correctly.

Resume signal faults often misdiagnosed

  • A failing clock spring is a common cause that is frequently overlooked because it also carries airbag and horn circuits, and other steering wheel controls may still work intermittently.
  • The resume signal is often a multiplexed voltage on a single wire shared with other cruise switches, so a fault in any switch on that circuit can set P0567.
  • Brake pedal switch problems can set P0567 because the cruise module expects to see the brake status change before allowing resume, and a misadjusted switch can corrupt the logic.
  • Aftermarket steering wheel covers or phone mounts can pinch or stress the clock spring wiring, leading to intermittent resume signal faults.
  • P0567 does not always mean the resume switch itself is bad; the code can be triggered by a faulty cruise control module that misinterprets a normal signal.

Can I keep driving with P0567?

The vehicle remains safe to drive because the cruise control system simply disables the resume function, but you should avoid using cruise control until the fault is repaired to prevent unexpected behavior. Have the system diagnosed at your convenience, as the issue will not strand you.
