P0563

DTC P0563: ECM/PCM Power Source Circuit Unexpected Voltage

1. Reset the ECM/PCM.
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/PCM) (15 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box and at the ECM/PCM.

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




8. Measure voltage between ECM/PCM 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 PGM-FI main relay 1 (A).




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

Is there continuity?

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

NO - Replace PGM-FI main relay 1.

12. Reconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P).




13. Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal E7 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 14.

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

14. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).




15. Measure voltage between body ground and ECM/PCM connector terminals A3 and A2 individually.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 16.

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

16. Remove the glove box.




17. Remove PGM-FI main relay 1 (A).




18. Measure voltage between body ground and ECM/PCM connector terminals A3 and A2 individually.

Is there battery voltage?

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

NO - Replace PGM-FI main relay 1.
