What it means

P0567 is the generic code for a fault in the cruise control resume signal circuit. The control unit that manages cruise control monitors the input from the resume switch and has seen a signal that is out of range, stuck, or not plausible compared with the other cruise control switch inputs. Cruise control will normally be disabled while the fault is present.

Symptoms

Cruise control will not engage or will not resume a set speed
Cruise control switches on the steering wheel or stalk seem dead or erratic
Cruise control indicator light flashing or not illuminating
Cruise control cancels itself unexpectedly
Warning lamp or stored fault with no change to normal driving

Possible causes

Faulty cruise control switch or stalk (worn or stuck resume contact)likely
Damaged clock spring or steering wheel switch wiring on models where the switches are wheel-mountedlikely
Wiring fault such as open circuit, short to earth or short to voltage in the resume signal circuitpossible
Corroded or loose connector at the switch or control unitpossible
Moisture or spilled drink contaminating the switchpossible
Fault in the control unit that reads the cruise control inputsrare

How to diagnose

Read all stored codes and freeze frame data, noting whether other cruise control, brake switch or clutch switch codes are present
Check that the cruise control switch positions (set, resume, cancel, on/off) respond and check live data for the switch inputs if the scan tool shows them
Inspect the switch, stalk and visible wiring for damage, wear, contamination or previous repair work
Check the connectors at the switch and control unit for corrosion, bent pins and poor retention
Check the brake and clutch switch operation, as faults there can disable cruise control and cause confusing symptoms
Test the resume signal circuit for continuity, short to earth and short to voltage against the manufacturer wiring diagram, and check the reference voltage and earth
Check the switch resistance or voltage values in each position against model-specific data, as the method varies by vehicle
Clear the code and road test to confirm whether it returns

How to fix

Replace the faulty cruise control switch or stalk
Repair or replace damaged wiring and terminals in the resume signal circuit
Clean or replace corroded connectors and secure them properly
Replace the clock spring or steering wheel switch assembly if testing shows it is the cause
Replace or repair the control unit only after wiring and switch faults are ruled out, and check for any applicable software update for the model

Can I keep driving?

Low severity

The car is safe to keep driving, as the only loss is cruise control. Book it in for repair at your convenience, but check that the brake lights work properly if other related codes are stored.
