P0560



DTC P0560

Circuit 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 input can occur when the voltage is out of range. The ECM monitors the system voltage over an extended length of time. If the ECM detects a system voltage outside an expected range for the calibrated length of time, DTC P0560 will set.
