The PCM checks the system voltage to make sure that the voltage stays within the proper range. Damage to components, and incorrect input can occur when the voltage is out of range. The PCM monitors the system voltage over an extended length of time. If the PCM detects an excessively high system voltage, DTC P0563 will set.
System voltage above 16 volts.
The PCM detects a system voltage above 16 volts for less than 1 second.
If the condition is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions in Symptoms.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
If ignition voltage and IPC battery voltage are within 0.5 volt of each other, there may be a system voltage problem. If they are not within 0.5 volt of each other, find out why the PCM is different.
Tests if the PCM ignition voltage is actually displaying system voltage.
Step | Action | Values | Yes | No |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Was the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check performed? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
Are PCM and IPC voltage readings different by more than the value specified? | 0.5 V | Go to Step 3 | Go to Charging System Test in Engine Electrical | |
Using the J 39200 DMM measure voltage to ground on the PCM fuse (installed). Are the Ignition 1 and DMM voltage readings different by more than the value specified? | 0.5 V | Go to Step 4 | Go to Charging System Test in Engine Electrical | |

Important: The replacement PCM must be programmed. Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Replacement/Programming . Is action complete? | -- | -- | |

Does the scan tool indicate that DTC P0560 failed this ignition? | -- | System OK |
