The PCM monitors system voltage on the PCM ignition feed circuit. If the system voltage is out of tolerance, DTC P0560 will be set. When the conditions that set DTC P0560 are present, operation of some vehicle systems and components may be affected.
The engine is running.
• | System voltage monitored at the PCM ignition feed circuit is less than 9 volts or greater than 16 volts. |
• | Above conditions for longer than 25 seconds. |
• | The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). |
• | The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Fail Records data only. This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data. |
• | The PCM will default the transmission default to 3rd gear. |
• | The PCM will inhibit TCC operation. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction. |
• | DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Info function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed. |
Check for the following conditions:
Important: Be sure to inspect PCM engine grounds for being secure and clean.
• | Poor connection at PCM. |
Inspect harness connectors backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, or poor terminal to wire connections. |
• | Damaged harness. |
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the Ignition 1 voltage display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring related to the PCM, dash harness, and engine harness. A change in the display will indicate the location of the malfunction. |
Important: Charging with a battery charger while starting the engine can cause DTC P0560 to be set.
If DTC P0560 cannot be duplicated, reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition. For complete information and additional diagnostics for the vehicle charging system, refer to Charging System.
