The engine control module (ECM) uses the ignition 1 voltage circuit to monitor system voltage. Voltage that is out of range will cause damage to components and incorrect input readings. If the ECM detects an excessively high system voltage, DTC P0563 will set.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0563 System Voltage High
• | The ignition is ON, with the engine OFF. |
• | DTC P0563 runs continuously once the above condition is met. |
The ECM detects a system voltage above 16 volts for more than 5 minutes.
• | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. |
• | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
• | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
• | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
• | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |

The engine control module (ECM) monitors the voltage supplied on the feedback circuit of the engine controls ignition or ENGINE relay. Voltage that is out of range will cause incorrect input readings from the engine components connected to the relay. If the ECM detects voltage present on the feedback circuit of the engine controls ignition or ENGINE relay when the ignition is turned OFF, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0563 Engine Controls Ignition Relay Feedback Circuit High Voltage
• | The ignition is cycled from the ON position to the OFF position. |
• | DTC P0563 runs continuously once the above conditions are met. |
The ECM detects voltage on the feedback circuit of the ENGINE relay is more than 7.9 volts for 7.6 seconds after the ignition is turned OFF.
The ECM detects voltage on the feedback circuit of the ENGINE relay is more than 18 volts for 7.6 seconds after the ignition is turned OFF.
• | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
• | The ECM will store conditions which were present when the DTC was set as Failure Records data only. |
• | This information will not be stored in the Freeze Frame data. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault. |
• | DTCs can be cleared by using the scan tool. |
• | Disconnect the ECM battery feed for more than 10 seconds. |
• | For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections . |
• | The following table illustrates the ENGINE relay terminal location in the underhood fuse block: |
