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) (15A) 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 (31 P).




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

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 11.

NO - Go to step 8.

8. Remove the glove box.




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




10. 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.

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




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

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 13.

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.

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




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

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 15.

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.

15. Remove the glove box.




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




17. 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 PGM-FI main relay 1.

NO - Replace PGM-FI main relay 1.
