This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means there's a problem with the car's cruise control system, specifically with the button that lets you resume your speed after slowing down or stopping.
The P0567 code indicates that the car's computer has detected an issue with the cruise control resume signal, which is responsible for resuming the set speed after it has been temporarily deactivated.
When the cruise control system is engaged, it allows the driver to maintain a constant vehicle speed without having to keep their foot on the accelerator. The resume function allows the driver to return to the previously set speed after braking or manually deactivating the cruise control. The P0567 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a malfunction in the resume signal circuit.
