P0567 — Cruise Control Off Signal Malfunction
Can drive — fix at your convenience.
What P0567 means
This code means the engine computer detected a problem with the 'off' signal from the cruise control switch or circuit. It usually points to a faulty cruise control switch, a wiring or connector fault, or a worn steering wheel clockspring. It's generally a low-cost repair focused on the switch or wiring rather than major work.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep driving with a P0567 code?
Yes, it's safe to drive. The fault only affects cruise control, so your engine and brakes work normally. Just avoid using cruise control until it's repaired.
How much does it cost to fix a P0567?
It's typically affordable, around $90 to $350. A switch or wiring fix is cheapest, while replacing a clockspring or control module pushes toward the higher end.
Is a P0567 code serious?
No, it's low severity. It doesn't affect drivability or safety, only the cruise control feature, so you can schedule the repair at your convenience.
Is it safe to use cruise control with a P0567?
It's best not to. If the 'off' signal is faulty, cruise control may not disengage as expected, so avoid using it until the system is repaired and tested.
