Cline not working

Question

I have this beautiful table:

\documentclass
\begin{table}[]
\caption [Vyplněná instrukce pro ovládání suction cup]{Vyplněná instrukce pro ovládání suction cup}
\label{tab:sucv}
\catcode`\-=12
\begin{adjustbox}{width=\textwidth}
\begin{tabular}{|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{FFCC67}}c 
>{\columncolor[HTML]{FFCC67}}l |
>{\columncolor[HTML]{98C699}}c |
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c 
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c 
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c 
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c 
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c 
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}l |
>{\columncolor[HTML]{E9BCBC}}c |}
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{FFCC67}} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{98C699} &
  \multicolumn{6}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}Payload} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{E9BCBC} \\ \cline{4-9}
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{FFCC67}} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{98C699} &
  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}} &
  \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}CTRL} &
  \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{E9BCBC} \\ \cline{5-6}
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\multirow{-3}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{FFCC67}Header}} &
  \multirow{-3}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{98C699}Len} &
  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\multirow{-2}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}ID}} &
  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}RW} &
  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}isqueued} &
  \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\multirow{-2}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}Params}} &
  \multirow{-3}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{E9BCBC}Checksum} \\ \hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{FFCC67}0xAA 0xAA} &
  0x04 &
  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}0x3E} &
  \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}0x03} &
  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}0x01} &
  \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}0x01} &
  0xFB \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{adjustbox}
\end{table}
\end{document}

it should look like this:

but it seems like my clines are not working, because the output I get looks like this:

There is no line under "Payload" and no line under CTRL.

Do you guys have any tip on how to solve this?

Welcome to TeX.SE! Please extend <our code fragment to complete small document beginning with \documentclass and ending with \end{document} which reproduce your problem and can be compiled as it is. — Zarko, May 05 '23 at 13:42
see texdoc colortbl, \cline is not supported (you could use hhline) or a different table packge such as nicematrix or tabularray — David Carlisle, May 05 '23 at 13:45

The line generated with \cline is covered by the color of the cell. This is why it is not visible. A solution could be to use the hhline package, which would require a small adjustment in the row height because otherwise a gap would show in multirow cells. I adjusted your table and simplified the code a bit:

\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{colortbl, xcolor, multirow, hhline}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{FFCC67}}c|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{FFCC67}}c|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{98C699}}c|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}}c|
>{\columncolor[HTML]{E9BCBC}}c|}
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{FFCC67}} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{98C699} &
  \multicolumn{5}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}Payload} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{E9BCBC} \\[-.4pt] 
\hhline{~~~-----~}
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{FFCC67}} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{98C699} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC} &
  \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}CTRL} &
  \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{E9BCBC} \\[-.4pt] 
\hhline{~~~~--~~~}
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\multirow{-3}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{FFCC67}Header}} &
  \multirow{-3}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{98C699}Len} &
  \multirow{-2}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}ID} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}RW &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}isqueued &
  \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\multirow{-2}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}Params}} &
  \multirow{-3}{*}{\cellcolor[HTML]{E9BCBC}Checksum} \\ 
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{FFCC67}0xAA} &
  0xAA & 
  0x04 &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}0x3E &
  \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}0x03} &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}0x01 &
  \cellcolor[HTML]{DAE8FC}0x01 &
  0xFB \\ 
\hline
\end{tabular}
