DTC P0563: ECM Power Source Circuit Unexpected Voltage

1. Reset the ECM.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

Is DTC P0563 indicated?

YES - Go to step 5

NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the No.6 ECU (ECM) (15 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box and at the ECM.

5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Disconnect ECM connector E (31P).
7. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




8. Measure voltage between ECM connector terminal E7 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 12.

NO - Go to step 9.

9. Remove the glove box.




10. Remove the PGM-FI main relay 1(A).




11. Check for continuity between ECM connector terminal E7 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM (E7) and the PGM-FI main relay 1.

NO - Replace the PGM-FI main relay 1.

12. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
13. Reconnect ECM connector E (31P).




14. Measure voltage between ECM connector terminal E7 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 15.

NO - Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the original ECM.

15. Disconnect ECM connector A (31P).
16. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




17. Measure voltage between body ground and ECM connector terminals A3 and A2 individually.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 18.

NO - Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the original ECM/PCM.

18. Remove the glove box.




19. Remove the PGM-FI main relay 1 (A).




20. Measure voltage between body ground and ECM connector terminals A3 and A2 individually.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Repair short to power in the wire between the ECM (A2, A3) and the PGM-FI main relay 1.

NO - Replace the PGM-FI main relay 1.
