P0570 Cruise Control Accel Signal Malfunction


Diagnostic trouble code P0570 indicates that there is a malfunction in the cruise control accel signal circuit. The cruise control system is designed to maintain a constant vehicle speed without the need for the driver to manually control the throttle. The cruise control accel signal is a signal sent from the cruise control module to the engine control module (ECM) to indicate that the driver has requested an increase in vehicle speed.

When the ECM detects that there is a malfunction in the cruise control accel signal circuit, it will set a diagnostic trouble code P0570 and turn on the Check Engine light. This may cause the cruise control system to become inoperative or to function incorrectly.

The most common causes of this code include a faulty cruise control switch, a damaged cruise control wiring harness, a failed cruise control module, or a malfunctioning ECM. To diagnose and repair this code, a mechanic will need to perform a thorough inspection of the cruise control system, including the wiring and switches, to determine the exact cause of the malfunction.

Once the issue is identified and repaired, the mechanic will clear the diagnostic trouble code and reset the Check Engine light.
