DTC P0560

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor
DTC P0560
- System Voltage - ECM

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) monitors the system voltage to ensure that the voltage stays within the proper range. Damage to components, and incorrect data may occur when the voltage is out of range.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the battery voltage is less than 2.54 V for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0560 is a C type DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0560 is a C type DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

A low voltage DTC in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the C1 battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 V.

• If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test (Charging System Test).

2. S39 Ignition Switch OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the K20 ECM.
3. S39 Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 Ohms between the ground circuit terminals listed below and ground.

* Terminal 73 X2 (LF1)
* Terminal 73 X3 (LF1)
* Terminal 1 X2 (LAU)
* Terminal 2 X2 (LAU)
* Terminal 4 X2 (LAU)

• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminals listed below and ground.

* Terminal 52 X1 (LF1)
* Terminal 56 X2 (LAU)

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the K20 ECM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
