P2583Cruise Control Front Distance Range Sensor Single Sensor or Center

P2583 indicates that the cruise control system's front distance range sensor, either a single sensor or the center sensor in a multi-sensor arrangement, has reported a fault or its signal is outside the expected range. The powertrain control module (PCM) or cruise control module monitors this sensor to maintain a safe following distance, and it sets the code when the sensor's data is implausible, missing, or indicates an internal failure.
