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.
• | The ignition is cycled from the ON position to the OFF position. |
• | DTC P0563 runs continuously once the above conditions are met. |
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0563 Engine Controls Ignition Relay Feedback Circuit High Voltage
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 Intermittent Conditions . |

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. |
• | DTC P0563 runs continuously once the above condition is met. |
The ECM detects a system voltage above 16 volts.
• | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
• | The ECM will record operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information will be stored in the Failure Records buffers. |
• | A history DTC is stored. |
• | 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. |
