Can drive — fix at your convenience.
This code appears when the computer detects a fault in the 'accel' signal from the cruise control switch, which is what raises your speed while cruise is active. It's typically caused by a worn cruise control switch, damaged wiring or a corroded connector near the steering wheel, or a failing control module. The fix is usually simple, often just cleaning or replacing the switch or repairing a wire.
$90 – $350
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Yes. This code only affects the cruise control system, so the car drives normally and safely. You just may not be able to rely on cruise control until the issue is fixed.
Repairs typically range from $90 to $350. A switch cleaning or replacement is inexpensive, while wiring work or a module replacement raises the cost.
No, it's a low-severity code. It poses no risk to your engine, transmission, or safety, but fixing it restores full cruise control function.
The accel input that tells the computer to raise your set speed isn't reaching it correctly, usually because of a bad switch or wiring. The system ignores the faulty signal, so the accelerate feature stops responding.
