Circuit/System Description

The following control modules monitor the system voltage to ensure that the voltage stays within the proper range:

•  Engine control module
•  Fuel pump control module
•  Transmission control module

Damage to components, and incorrect data may occur when the voltage is out of range.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Engine Control Module

•  The vehicle speed is above 8 km/h (5 mph).
•  The system voltage is between 9.5-18 V.

Fuel Pump Control Module

The ignition is ON.

Transmission Control Module

The system voltage is between 8.6-18.0 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Engine Control Module

The engine control module detects a system voltage above 16 V for less than 1 second.

Fuel Pump Control Module or Transmission Control Module

The module detects the system voltage is greater than 18 V.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0563 is a C type DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 V.
⇒ If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test .
2. Engine running, observe the scan tool of the appropriate control module Ignition 1 signal parameter. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 V.
⇒ If not within the specified range, replace the appropriate control module.
