Ground | -- | P0562 | -- | -- |
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.
• | The vehicle speed is above 8 km/h (5 mph). |
• | The system voltage is between 9.5-18.0 volts. |
The ECM detects a system voltage below 10 volts for 5 seconds.
• | The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the charge indicator. |
• | The driver information center (DIC) displays the SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM warning message. |
DTC P0562 is a C type DTC.
A low voltage DTC in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.
