DTC P0563 w/Delphi Controller
Circuit Description
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.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0563 System Voltage High
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON, with the engine OFF. |
| • | DTC P0563 runs continuously once the above condition is met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects a system voltage above 16 volts for more than 5 minutes.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | 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. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | 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. |

Did the DTC fail this ignition? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Step 7 |
7 | Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed? | -- | System OK | |
DTC P0563 w/o Delphi Controller
Circuit Description
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.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0563 Engine Controls Ignition Relay Feedback Circuit High Voltage
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is cycled from the ON position to the OFF position. |
| • | DTC P0563 runs continuously once the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC - European Emissions
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.
Conditions for Setting the DTC - Non European Emissions
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.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets - European Emissions Only
| • | 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. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC - European Emissions Only
| • | 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. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | 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: |
