GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

Important: The DTC descriptor that the scan tool displays will not match this DTC due to DTCs P0567 and P0568 being reversed within the engine control module (ECM). This will only affect this vehicle for the 2004 model year.

Circuit Description

The cruise control set/coast switch is an input to the ECM. The ECM uses the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to set the vehicle speed or to decelerate the vehicle speed. The ECM detects a voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit when the switch is applied.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • The ignition is ON.
    • The cruise control On/Off switch is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    •  This DTC sets if the ECM detects a voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit for greater than 60 seconds.
    • This ECM runs this diagnostic every 0.05 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The ECM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
    • The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records.
    • The Cruise Control System is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

    • A last test failed, or the current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
    • A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if failures are not reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
    • Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL/DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

    • Ensure that the set/coast switch is not stuck or sticking in the engaged position.
    • For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
