DTC Descriptor
DTC P0563 : System Voltage HighDiagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
IGN I | P0562 | P0562 | -- | -- |
Ground | -- | P0562 | -- | -- |
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the system voltage to ensure that the voltage stays within the proper range. Damage to components, and incorrect data may occur when the voltage is out of range.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The vehicle speed is above 8 km/h (5 mph). |
| • | The system voltage is between 9.5-18 V. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects a system voltage above 16 V.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0563 is a C type DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0563 is a C type DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | A possible cause of this DTC could be overcharging with a battery charger or jump starting. |
| • | A high voltage value in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Verify DTC P0563 is set as current.
- Engine running measure and record the voltage at the battery terminals. Verify that the battery voltage is 12.6-15.5 V.
- Engine running, observe the scan tool ECM Ignition 1 signal parameter.
- Verify the battery and Ignition 1 signal readings do not differ more than 2.0 V.
| ⇒ | If the battery voltage is not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test. |
| ⇒ | If greater than specified value, replace the ECM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

DTC P0563: System Voltage High - FPCMDiagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
B+ | P0562 | P0562 | -- | -- |
Ground | -- | P0562 | -- | -- |
Circuit/System Description
The fuel pump control module (FPCM) monitors the system voltage to ensure that the voltage stays within the proper range. Damage to components, and incorrect data may occur when the voltage is out of range. If the FPCM detects that the system voltage is high, DTC P0563 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The FPCM detects that the system voltage is greater than 18 V.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0563 is a type C DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0563 is a type C DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | A high voltage DTC in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system. |
| • | This DTC could be set by overcharging with a battery charger or jump starting. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 V.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the FPCM.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
