P0568 — Cruise Control Resume Signal Malfunction
Can drive — fix at your convenience.
What P0568 means
This code means the engine computer detected a problem with the 'resume' 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 fix centered on the switch or wiring rather than major repairs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep driving with a P0568 code?
Yes, it's safe to drive. The fault only affects cruise control resume, so the engine and brakes work normally. You'll just set your speed manually until it's repaired.
How much does it cost to fix a P0568?
It's usually inexpensive, around $90 to $350. A switch or wiring repair is cheapest, while a clockspring or control module replacement raises the cost with labor.
Is a P0568 code serious?
No, it's low severity. It doesn't affect how the car drives or stops, only the cruise control resume feature, so you can fix it on your own timeline.
Why won't cruise control resume with a P0568?
The 'resume' signal the computer needs isn't coming through, usually from a bad switch or wiring fault. Repairing the switch or circuit typically restores the resume function.
