Engine Electrical (w/Delphi Controller)




DTC P0562 (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 low system voltage, DTC P0562 will set.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0562 System Voltage Low

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON, with the engine OFF.
* DTC P0562 runs continuously once the above condition is met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects a system voltage below 11 volts for more than 5 minutes.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
* The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
* The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.
* The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* 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 non-emission related diagnostic.
* Clear the DTC with a scan tool.
