DTC P0560 System Voltage 2.4L VIN T
Circuit Description
Circuit 480 is the fused battery feed for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Circuit 639 is the ignition feed for the PCM.
If the PCM detects a low voltage, or a high voltage, then DTC P0560 sets. DTC P0560 is a type D DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The system voltage is low:
| • | The engine speed is more than 1300 RPM. |
| • | The system voltage is less than 11.0 volts for 4 minutes after dropping below 10 volts.. |
The system voltage is high:
The system voltage is more than 17.0 volts.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The transmission defaults to 3rd gear. |
| • | The PCM inhibits TCC operation. |
| • | The PCM does not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported. |
| • | The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Charging the battery with a battery charger could set DTC P0560. Jump starting the vehicle could set DTC P0560. |
| • | If DTC P0560 sets when you operate accessories, inspect the applicable system for poor connections or excessive current draw. |
| • | Inspect the accessory drive belt for wear or incorrect tension. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
The battery voltage must be above 10.5 volts before proceeding with this table.
-
This step ensures that there is no problem with the generator.
-
This step tests for high resistance in the battery feed circuit to the PCM.
