P0585 — Cruise control multifunction inputs A/B — correlation

P0585: Cruise control multifunction inputs A/B — correlation — what it means, the affected system and what to check before replacing parts.

Meaning, symptoms, causes and checks

The relationship between cruise-control multifunction inputs A and B does not match the expected correlation. Neither input is identified as the failed one by this code. This concerns the two control inputs, not a throttle/pedal correlation monitor.

Affected system: Cruise control inputs and actuators

Symptoms

  • Warning light may illuminate
  • Related system function may be impaired
  • Vehicle-specific symptoms vary

Possible causes

  • Implausible sensor or switch signal, poor ground, connector corrosion, or wiring damage
  • Related wiring, connector, power or ground fault
  • Vehicle-specific mechanical or control issue

What to check

  • Record stored and pending codes and freeze-frame data
  • Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
  • Confirm measured values against the vehicle service information
  • Retest under the conditions that set the code
  • Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
  • Repair the verified cause and confirm the code does not return

Also written as: P0585-00, P058500, PO585 (some scan tools add the fault-type byte, e.g. -00).
