What is the P0568 Fault code? What does it all mean?
The cruise control system can be controlled by the driver in multiple ways. The driver can set the vehicle’s speed, keep it at the same speed using numerous sensors, modules and switches, or change the speed at will. When the brake pedal is pressed the cruise control stops. In such cases, the driver can reactivate that speed.
The speed control button sends an input signal (on/off), start/set (Set), speed increase (Accel), speed decrease (Coast) and continue (Resume / Recall) to the body control (BCM/PCM). The input signal allows for the control functions of cruise controller to be monitored, including on/off (On/Off), start/set(Set), speed increase/decrease (Coast), recall (Resume/Recall), and continue (“Resume/Recall”) These buttons can vary depending on vehicle make and application. If there is a fault code P0568, the computer on board detects an error in the voltage signal to the cruise control button “SET/SET”.
The P0568 fault code can affect vehicles of all makes and models, including but not limited to: Volkswagen, Skoda Opel, Seat Hyundai, Seat, Hyundai. Vauxhall, Audi. Mitsubishi. Isuzu. Ford. Mercedes-Benz. Chrysler. Dodge.
