Q: What does code P1567 mean?

Load Signal From A/C Compressor No Signal. P1567 on Volkswagen vehicles means the engine control module (ECM) is not receiving the expected load signal from the air conditioning (A/C) compressor, so it cannot anticipate the extra engine load when the compressor engages. The ECM monitors a dedicated signal circuit from the A/C compressor or its control module and sets this code when that signal is missing or implausible while the A/C is requested.
