Error Code P0567 is defined as Cruise Control Resume Signal Malfunction, meaning there’s a problem in the electrical components of the cruise control signal circuit causing a malfunction.
This code is a generic trouble code, meaning it applies to all cars equipped with the OBD-II system, especially those made since 1996 up to present. It’s also more common among Audi, Citroen, Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Nissan, Peugeot, and Volkswagen cars. Specifications on the definition, troubleshooting, and repairs, of course, vary from one make and model, powertrain configuration type, to another.
Cruise Control comes with multiple functions; the driver can set a specific speed for your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder and maintain it using numerous sensors, modules, switches, and various components, as well as modify the speed electronically (using “set –“ and “set +”), and even temporarily modify speed while storing previous speed (often used in passing cars, unexpected slowing or stopping), etc.
Since this code is contained within one switch/component, it is important to locate the mechanical inputs (buttons, switches, talks, etc.) involved. With that said, some common names for the said component are: Multi-function switch, Cruise control switch, Cruise control module, Steering wheel controls, Accessory switch, etc.
When Error Code P0567 is registered, that means the PCM (powertrain control module, also known as ECM or engine control module in other 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder makes) has determined a malfunction(s) within the signal circuit, specifically within the RESUME signal of the system.

As with other error codes, this code activates the Check Engine light and registers the code to your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder’s memory system. Other common symptoms include:
First, check the cruise control switch/module, make sure the buttons and controls function properly. In many cases, buttons are missing, stuck in one position, or loose which is why it’s not making proper electrical connections. Dirt and particles that cause contamination can also lead to problems. Record all cruise control functions and their malfunctions or abnormalities.
If the cruise control light comes on in the instrument cluster when the cruise is manually activated, then it’s in good shape. If it does NOT, then verify if there’s a fuse. This information can be found in your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder’s service manual. Any blown fused must be replaced by a new and manufacturer-approved fuse.
Access the harness to the cruise control switch/module. In most cases, you would have to remove dash parts (steering column, steering wheel, airbag, etc.). To find the specific wire involved in the fault, you will need a proper wiring harness for your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder. This can vary significantly given many reasons. Again, refer to your service manual before executing this step.
Make sure your ABS (anti-lock brake system) is in good shape, and there are no ABS light on your dash. ABS uses multiple sensors including speed sensors, that if it’s malfunctioning, could fool the computer into thinking your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder is going faster or slower than the actual speed.
Depending on the diagnosis, common repair solutions include:
Severity for this code is considered low, as you can still use your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder even when the cruise control system loses its function. If left unaddressed however, this code can lead to further electrical damage within your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder’s electrical system.
The most common misdiagnosis for this code is not checking for blown fuses. Thus, it must be thoroughly checked before replacing any parts.
