P0580Cruise Control Multi-Function Input A Circuit Low

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
How the car detects it
Cruise control buttons form a resistor ladder on one or two signal lines, each button giving its own voltage window. FCA uses two lines with offset windows – signal 1 is input A, signal 2 input B – and both must report the same button; GM evaluates the ratio to the reference. Any fault locks out cruise control; CARB treats this as emission-neutral, and GM and Ford set these codes without warning lamp. P0580 means signal line A is too low: GM at a ratio of 0–0.185 for over 2 s (short to ground or, depending on wiring, open circuit); FCA treats signal 1 below 0.216 V as circuit low. Work at the steering wheel involves the driver airbag.
