What it means
Same as P0582 with the control line shorted to supply. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
At a glance
- Usually lights the check-engine light
How it works
On a vacuum-operated cruise system, the module energizes the vacuum-control solenoid to operate the throttle servo. P0584 sets when the solenoid control circuit is higher than expected, typically because the control wire is shorted to a supply.
Common causes
Most likely first.
- Control line shorted to supply
- Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Supply wire pinched against B+ source
Symptoms
- Cruise control unavailable or disengages
- Cruise-control buttons may not respond
- Check-engine light
How to diagnose it
- Review freeze-frame and related cruise codes, and confirm the vehicle has a vacuum-operated cruise servo.
- Inspect the solenoid connector and harness for pinched insulation, water entry, pushed-back pins, or contact with a power source.
- Use scan-tool data, if available, to compare the solenoid command with the circuit state while cruise control is requested.
- With the circuit isolated according to the wiring diagram, test the control wire for a short to a supply circuit.
- Check the solenoid and module output using the manufacturer's procedure if the wiring shows no short.
Common fixes
- Reroute and secure wiring that is pinched against a power source.
- Repair the vacuum-control wire shorted to supply.
- Clean or replace damaged solenoid connector terminals.
- Replace the solenoid if it fails the manufacturer's test.
- Repair or replace the module only after verifying the external circuit.
Can I keep driving?
Cruise control may be unavailable or may disengage, while normal accelerator control is usually retained. Drive without cruise control and avoid relying on it to control speed.
A code shows where the control module detected a fault, not always which part failed. Check the causes in order and confirm with a test before replacing parts. Have several codes? Check them together
This is a generic code: it means the same on every make. The car’s maker may add more detail in its own service information.
