P0587 OBD-II: Cruise Control Vent Control Circuit Low

P0587 Severity

Moderate

Will P0587 go away on its own?

Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.

For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.

Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.

Schedule Diagnosis

What causes OBD-II fault code P0587?

The cruise control system uses vacuum to maintain speed. The Cruise Control Vent Solenoid allows the system to release vacuum if the vehicle needs to slow down. If the Vent Control Solenoid does not perform as requested, code P0587 will be set and cruise control will be disabled.
