P0568

DTC P0568

Circuit Description

The cruise control set/coast switch is an input to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit in order to detect when the driver has requested to set the vehicle speed or to allow the vehicle to coast. The ECM detects a voltage signal on the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit when the switch is applied. This DTC sets if the ECM detects that voltage is present on the cruise control set/coast switch signal circuit for longer than 90 seconds.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0568 Cruise Control Set Switch Circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON.
* The cruise control switch is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects the set/coast switch is ON for longer than 90 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 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

* Inspect for a set/coast switch stuck in the engaged position or the signal circuit is shorted to voltage.
* For an intermittent, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
