The PCM provides ground to one side of the coil of the main relay and the other side is connected to the battery. The PCM monitors battery voltage and the voltage after the main relay.
PCM sets DTC P0563 if the PCM detects system voltage higher than the possible range of battery voltage.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
DTC Strategy | ● Check system voltage | ● Contact resistance in connectors ● Faulty charging system |
Enable Conditions | ● No main relay failure ● Vehicle speed > 10km/h(6mph) | |
Threshold Value | ● Voltage after main relay when ON > 16V | |
Diagnostic Time | ● 30 sec. |
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
Has a problem been found?
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Go to "Charging System Inspection" procedure.
Check battery condition and Generator output.
Are battery conditions and Generator output both okay?
▶ Check for poor connection between PCM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode.
Press F4(DTAL) and confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Complete". If not, drive the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions.
Read "DTC Status" parameter.
Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present) fault"?
▶ System performing to specification at this time. Clear the DTC.
▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
