P0574

Cruise Control System - Vehicle Speed Too High

Moderate severity

What it means

The cruise control sees actual vehicle speed exceed the set-speed by more than the diagnostic margin (typically going downhill or with throttle override). Persistent oversize means the system cannot bring speed down - either an actuator fault, brake-blending failure, or driver kick-down stuck.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
