P0569
Cruise Control Coast Signal
- Severity
- Low
- Driving
- No driving restriction
A fault in the cruise control coast signal - the input the driver uses to slow gradually while cruise is active. Cruise control may not respond to that command, or may respond when it should not. Nothing else about the way the car drives is affected.
Possible causes
- CommonFailed cruise control switch or stalk
- CommonWiring fault in the steering column or console
- CommonDamaged clock spring, on steering-wheel-mounted controls
- CommonCorroded or disturbed connector
- PossibleBrake or clutch switch fault preventing cruise from engaging
- RareFailed control module input
What you might notice
- Cruise control will not engage
- Cruise control cancelling on its own
- Set, resume or cancel not responding
- Cruise warning message
- Check engine light on
What to check, in order
- Watch the cruise control switch states on the live data screen while operating each control.
- Check the brake and clutch switches. Cruise control will not engage while the module thinks the brake is pressed, so a brake switch fault presents as a cruise control fault.
- On steering-wheel controls, suspect the clock spring - horn or airbag faults alongside confirm it.
- Inspect the connector if the column or console has been worked on.
- Confirm ordinary driving is unaffected, in which case this can wait.
