Cruise Control Resume Signal Malfunction

Definition source: General OBD-II reference catalog
Definition verification: Not independently verified for display.
Time: Varies by diagnosis and vehicle | Diagnostic difficulty: Medium
Low Severity

The cruise control system monitors a signal requesting that it resume a previously set speed. P0567 means the signal was detected as malfunctioning. Depending on the vehicle, the cause may be the resume control, its wiring or connections, or another part of the cruise control system. The resume function may not work, while other cruise functions may or may not be affected.

⚠️ Before You Begin (Safety First)

This fault commonly affects a convenience feature rather than basic steering or braking. Do not rely on cruise control until it has been checked, and be ready to control speed yourself. If cruise control activates or behaves unpredictably, switch it off and have the vehicle inspected; stop driving if you cannot safely control the vehicle.

Common Symptoms

  • The resume function may not restore the previously set speed because the cruise control system is not recognizing the resume request.
  • Cruise control may be unavailable or another cruise function may be affected, depending on how the vehicle handles the fault.
  • Cruise control may work intermittently if the signal or its electrical connection is intermittent.
  • There may be no noticeable symptom if the code is stored intermittently or the resume function is not used.

Common Causes

  • A worn, damaged, or sticking resume control may fail to produce a consistent request.
  • A loose, damaged, or corroded connector or wire may interrupt or distort the resume signal.
  • A fault in the cruise control input circuit or related control system may prevent the signal from being recognized.
  • A control-module problem is possible, but should be considered only after the control and circuit have been tested.

Diagnostic Steps

  1. Check the owner’s manual for how cruise control and resume are intended to operate on your vehicle; switch layouts and functions vary.
  2. With the vehicle parked, inspect the accessible cruise control buttons and surrounding area for damage, sticking, or contamination.
  3. With the ignition off, visually check accessible connectors and wiring around the cruise control switch for looseness or visible damage. Do not pull on wires or probe connectors without the correct service information.
  4. If you have a scan tool that supports cruise control data, check whether the resume command changes when the control is operated, following the tool and vehicle instructions.
  5. If the code returns, resume remains inoperative, or cruise behavior is unpredictable, arrange vehicle-specific electrical diagnosis rather than replacing parts based on the code alone.

When to Call a Professional

Check whether the fault is current or intermittent, then compare cruise-switch commands with scan-tool data where available. Inspect the switch connector and related wiring, and test the circuit using the vehicle-specific wiring diagram and service information. Consider a control-module fault only after the input, wiring, and connections have been checked.

Commonly Asked Questions

Does P0567 prove that the resume switch needs replacement?

No. The code identifies a detected problem with the resume signal, not a confirmed failed part. The switch, wiring, connections, or related control system may need to be checked.

Can I drive with P0567?

Usually, the main concern is reduced or unreliable cruise control rather than loss of basic vehicle control. Avoid relying on cruise control, and stop driving if it behaves unpredictably or you cannot control the vehicle safely.

Why might there be no obvious symptoms?

The fault may be intermittent, or the resume function may simply not have been used. The code can still warrant checking the system, especially if cruise control is unreliable.

Could other cruise control functions still work?

Possibly. The effect depends on the vehicle’s design and how its cruise control system responds to a resume-signal fault.
