Transmission Code

(PO563) SYSTEM OVERVOLTAGE





When Monitored and Set Condition
- When Monitored: Always monitored with system active at each ignition cycle.
- Set Condition: System voltage above 16.9 volts with the engine and transmission input speed sensors above 2000 RPM for 60 seconds.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- VEHICLE JUMP STARTED IMPROPERLY
- ENGINE CHARGING SYSTEM DTCS PRESENT
- TRACTION SYSTEM RELAY OUTPUT VOLTAGE HIGH
- TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE

Diagnostic Test
1. PRE-DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OUT





Note: Low fluid level can be the cause of many transmission problems. If the fluid level is low, locate and repair the leak then check and adjust the fluid level in accordance with the Service Information.

Note: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid false symptoms.

With the DRB III*, read the engine DTCs. Check and repair all engine DTCs prior to performing transmission symptom diagnostics.
With the DRB III*, read and record all Transmission DTCs.

Note: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Poor pin to terminal connections can set DTCs.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Repair as necessary.
Most DTCs set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all diagnostic monitors have run.

Note: Verify flash level of transmission controller. Some problems are corrected by software upgrades to the transmission controller.

Note: Check for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

Perform this procedure prior to Symptom diagnosis.

2. VEHICLE JUMP STARTED IMPROPERLY
Determine if the vehicle was jump started improperly.

Note: If the battery was jump started with the batteries in series, the System Overvoltage DTC will be set.

Was the vehicle jump started improperly?
Yes>>Erase the DTC if the vehicle was jump started improperly.
Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
No>>Go To 3

3. ENGINE CHARGING SYSTEM DTCS PRESENT





With the ignition on.
With the DRB III*, read the Engine DTCs.
Are any Engine Charging System DTCs present?
Yes>>Refer to the Engine - Electrical Diagnostics category and perform the appropriate symptom.
No>>Go To 4

4. TRACTION SYSTEM RELAY OUTPUT VOLTAGE HIGH AT TCM





Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the TCM C1 harness connector.

Note: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Start the engine.
Increase the engine speed to 1500 RPM.
Measure the voltage of the Traction System Relay Output circuit in the TCM C1 harness connector.
Is the voltage below 16.9 volts?
Yes>>Replace the Transmission Control Module.
Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Verification Tests
No>>Refer to the Engine - Electrical Diagnostics category and perform the appropriate symptom.
