DTC P0562 Non Europe or N. American Emssions

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The system voltage is too low.
    • The transmission control module (TCM) detects that voltage is less than 9 volts for 0.5 seconds continuously.
    • The engine revolution is 600 RPM or greater.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The TCM will request the illumination of the hold lamp and store the DTC when the TCM detects failures on 2 consecutive ignition cycles.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The TCM turns OFF the hold lamp when no further failure is detected on the next ignition cycles.
    • The scan tool can clear the DTC from the TCM history.
    • The TCM clears the DTC from the TCM history memory after 40 consecutive ignition cycles without fault.

Cause of Failure
    • TCM wiring harness and connectors
    • Battery
    • TCM
