DTC P0562

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the system voltage on the ignition feed terminal to make sure that the voltage stays within the proper range. If the ECM detects an excessively low system voltage, this DTC will set. When the charging system detects a malfunction, the charge indicator will light.

Condition for Running the DTC
- The engine speed is higher than 500 RPM.

Condition for Setting the DTC
- The ECM detects that the ignition 1 feed circuit voltage is less than 7.8 volts for longer than 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
12,000 lbs GVW
- The ECM illuminates the service vehicle soon (SVS) lamp when the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records.

Except 12,000 lbs GVW
- The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive driving cycle when the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records on the second consecutive driving cycle when the diagnostic runs and fails.

Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC
12,000 lbs GVW
- 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 after the ECM turns OFF the SVS lamp.
- Clear the SVS lamp and the DTC with a scan tool.

Except 12,000 lbs GVW
- The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- 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 emission related diagnostic after the ECM turns OFF the MIL.
- Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
- If the ignition voltage feed to the ECM is open, the engine will not start and the scan tool will not communicate with the ECM.
- A charging system problem may set this DTC.
- An intermittent or poor connection at the ignition 1 signal voltage feed (pin A-23 of J-218 connector) may set this DTC.
