Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM monitors system voltage continuously when the engine is running. The system must fail twice per ignition cycle in order to set a DTC.

DTC P0563 will set when battery voltage at the PCM is greater than 17 volts with the engine running.

Diagnostic Aids

This DTC may also set if the vehicle is used to jump start another vehicle that has a dead battery.

Check the fusible link between the generator and starter for corrosion or a blown link. Refer to Starting and Charging if the fusible link is blown.
