DTC P0563: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Power Source Circuit Unexpected Voltage






General Description
If there is a short to ground in the harness between the powertrain control module (PCM) and PGM-FI main relay 1, PGM-FI main relay 1 stays ON even though the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), and the PCM remains active. However, the engine is not running because the power for the gauges, the ignition, and the fuel pump are turned OFF by the ignition switch. When the PCM operates for a set time after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), a malfunction is detected and a DTC is stored.
