P0585Cruise Control Multi-Function Input A/B Correlation

  • 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. P0585 means inputs A and B contradict each other although both voltages are valid – one reports a button, the other rest or another button. Documented only by FCA: a 2022 bulletin traces it to a SET+ button stuck by a badly seated trim, another names oxidised steering wheel contacts. FCA gives no thresholds; GM does not use P0585.
What you may notice
  • Cruise control not engaging or cutting out, button sticking
  • Cruise control locked out
  • No check engine light
Likely causes
  • LikelyButton stuck mechanically (trim, dirt)
  • PossibleIncreased contact resistance on one line (clockspring or column module connector)
  • PossibleButton block faulty internally
  • RareClockspring faulty
