P0582Cruise Control Vacuum Control Circuit/Open
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- Older engines without electronic throttle use a vacuum cruise servo on the throttle cable: a vacuum valve (closed when unpowered) opens the throttle with intake vacuum, a vent valve (open when unpowered) holds or releases it, and a dump valve fed through the brake switch vents it when braking. Where the engine module drives these valves, it checks each circuit and switches cruise off; CARB treats this as emission-neutral, usually without warning lamp. P0582 concerns the vacuum valve circuit: an open circuit, checked with ignition on and cruise control active. Without current the vacuum valve stays closed – the safe state.

- LikelyVacuum valve coil in the servo open
- PossibleWire between servo and engine module open
- RareEngine module driver
