DTC Descriptor
DTC P0562: System Voltage LowDiagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Ignition 1 Signal | P0562 | 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 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects a system voltage below 10 volts for 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0562 is a C type DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0562 is a C type DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
Engine running, observe the scan tool ECM Ignition 1 Signal parameter. The Ignition 1 Signal parameter should read 10.5 volts or greater.
Circuit/System Testing
- Verify that DTC P0562 is set as current.
- Engine running, measure the voltage at the battery terminals and compare it with the Ignition 1 Signal parameter. The battery and Ignition 1 signal readings do not differ more than 2 volts.
- If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
| ⇒ | If the DTC is history refer to Charging System Test |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified value, test the Ignition 1 circuits and ground circuits for an open/high resistance. |
| • | Ignition 1 signal circuits 7.8L X1 terminals 22- 49- 50-73. |
| • | Ground circuits 7.8L X1 terminals 1-2-3-4. |
