P0570: Cruise Control Accelerate Signal
What to do
Driveable, but do not use cruise control until this is repaired. Braking will always disengage the system, so it remains controllable, but a stuck accelerate input is not something to live with.
What this code means
A fault in the accelerate signal, which raises the set speed while held. A stuck accelerate input is the one that deserves the most attention in this group, because it asks for more speed rather than less.
Cruise control systems are designed so the brake pedal always disengages them regardless of switch state, and that protection is independent of this circuit — but the switch should be repaired promptly and cruise control left unused until it is.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
