Operating Conditions: Engine running in PARK, normal operating temperature Parameter Normal Range: 12.5-14.5 volts | |||
Ignition Voltage | 0 volts | 0 volts | 12.5-14.5 volts |
Circuit/System Description
The transmission control module (TCM) continuously monitors the system voltage on the ignition voltage and the battery voltage circuits. Lower than normal or higher than normal voltage may be inadequate to operate the transmission control solenoids properly. Improper solenoid operation may cause erratic transmission operation and tie-up conditions, which may result in internal damage.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0562
The engine speed is 1,200 RPM for greater than 5 seconds.
P0563
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0562
The TCM detects system voltage of 11 volts or less for 10 seconds.
P0563
The TCM detects system voltage of 18 volts or greater for 10 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0562 and P0563 are type C DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0562 and P0563 are type C DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Observe the driver information center (DIC) messaging that would indicate the electrical system requires service. |
| • | Inspect for loose or damaged terminals at the generator. |
| • | Inspect for a loose or worn generator drive belt. |
| • | Use the scan tool in order to inspect all other modules for voltage related DTCs. |
| • | Running the engine with a battery charger attached may cause DTC P0563 to set. |
| • | Inspect the charging circuit for high resistance. |
| • | Inspect the vehicle battery for open or sulfated cells. |

Circuit/System Verification
Start the engine in PARK and observe the Ignition Voltage parameter on the scan tool. The Ignition Voltage should be between 12.0-14.5 volts.
Circuit/System Testing
- Start the engine and observe the Ignition Voltage parameter with a scan tool. The Ignition Voltage parameter should be between 12.0-14.5 volts.
- Increase the engine speed to 1,500 RPM. The Ignition Voltage parameter should remain between 12.0-14.5 volts.
- Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the TCM connector. Probe the battery positive voltage and the ignition 1 voltage circuits of the TCM connector with the ground probe of the DMM. Connect the positive lead of the DMM to the battery positive terminal. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Measure to voltage drop for each circuit. The voltage drop should be less than 0.5 volt.
- Turn OFF the ignition. Using the positive probe of the DMM, probe the ground circuits of the TCM connector. Connect the negative lead of the DMM to the battery ground terminal. Observe and record the voltage measurements. The voltage drop should be less than 0.2 volt.
- If all circuits and connections test normal, replace the TCM.
| ⇒ | If the voltage is not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test . |
| ⇒ | If the voltage is not within the specified range when the engine speed is increased, refer to Charging System Test . |
| ⇒ | If the voltage drop is greater than 0.5 volt, repair the high resistance in the affected circuit. |
| ⇒ | If the voltage drop is greater than 0.2 volt, repair the open or high resistance in the affected circuit. |
Component Testing
Start the engine and raise the engine speed to 1,500 RPM. Observe the Ignition Voltage parameter on the scan tool. The Ignition Voltage should be between 12.0-14.5 volts.
| ⇒ | If the voltage is not within the specified range, perform the Charging System Test . |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
