What Does P0567 Mean?
The ECM has detected a malfunction in the cruise control RESUME signal circuit. The RESUME function allows the driver to return to the previously set cruise speed after a cancel event. The ECM is not receiving a valid voltage transition when the RESUME button is pressed, indicating a switch, wiring, or connection fault specific to the resume input.
Common Causes
40%
Worn or failed cruise control RESUME switch contacts within the multi-function stalk or steering wheel button assembly
25%
Open or high-resistance connection in the RESUME signal wire due to corroded connectors or damaged wiring
25%
Clock spring failure affecting the RESUME signal circuit (may affect some functions while others work if different traces are damaged)
10%
Incorrect resistance value in the RESUME position of a resistive-ladder cruise control switch network
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: With cruise control enabled and a speed previously set, press the RESUME button and monitor live data for the resume command signal. Verify the button has proper mechanical feel and click.
2
Step 2: If the switch uses a resistive ladder, measure the resistance at the RESUME position from the switch connector. Compare to the manufacturer's resistance chart. An out-of-range value indicates a failed switch.
3
Step 3: Backprobe the RESUME signal at the ECM connector while pressing the button. The expected voltage should match manufacturer specifications for the resume command. No change or wrong voltage indicates a wiring fault.
4
Step 4: Test the clock spring circuit for the RESUME signal wire by measuring continuity from the steering wheel connector to the base-of-column connector while rotating the wheel. An intermittent open confirms clock spring failure.
5
Step 5: If the switch resistance and wiring continuity are correct, check for corrosion at intermediate connectors (column base, behind instrument panel) that may add enough resistance to push the voltage outside the ECM's acceptance window.

The most common cause of P0567 (Cruise Control Resume Signal Malfunction) is: Worn or failed cruise control RESUME switch contacts within the multi-function stalk or steering wheel button assembly
Typical repair costs for P0567 range from $40 to $350, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Loss of the RESUME function is a convenience issue only. The driver can still use SET to re-engage cruise control at the desired speed. All other vehicle functions and cruise cancel methods remain fully operational.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P0567 to identify the root cause.
