Diagnostic Chart (Part 2 Of 2):




CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The PCM monitors system voltage on the PCM ignition teed circuit. If the system voltage is out of tolerance operation of some vehicle systems and components may be affected. DTC P0560 will set.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The engine is running.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ System voltage monitored at the PCM ignition feed circuit is less than 9 volts or greater than 16 volts.
^ Above conditions for longer than 25 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
^ The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Failure Records data only. This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ A History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
^ The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Inspect for the following conditions:

IMPORTANT:
^ Be sure to inspect PCM engine grounds for being secure and clean.
^ Charging with a battery charger while starting the engine can cause DTC P0560 to set. For complete information and additional diagnostics for the vehicle charging system, refer to Battery Charging in Starting and Charging.
^ Remove any debris from the connector surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.

^ Poor terminal connection.
Inspect the harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and faulty terminal to wire connection. Use a corresponding mating terminal to test for proper tension. Refer to Diagrams for diagnosis and repair.
^ Damaged harness.
Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness inspection does not reveal a problem, observe the display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the scan tool display may indicate the location of the fault. Refer to Diagrams for diagnosis and repair.
^ Inspect the PCM and the engine grounds for clean and secure connections.

If the DTC is determined to be intermittent, reviewing the Failure Records can be useful in determining when the DTC was last set.

TEST DESCRIPTION
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.
13. This vehicle is equipped with a PCM which utilizes an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). When the PCM is being replaced, the new PCM must be programmed.

Refer to Starting and Charging Schematics Charging Schematic for a wiring diagram.
