## DTC P0562 Non-European or N. American Emissions

### DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0562 System Voltage Low

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

• | The system voltage is too low.

• | The transmission control module (TCM) detects that voltage is less than 9 volts for 0.5 second continuously.

• | The engine revolution is 600 RPM or greater.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The TCM will request the illumination of the hold lamp and store the DTC when the TCM detects failures on 2 consecutive ignition cycles.

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• | The TCM turns OFF the hold lamp when no further failure is detected on the next ignition cycles.

• | The scan tool can clear the DTC from the TCM history.

• | The TCM clears the DTC from the TCM history memory after 40 consecutive ignition cycles without fault.

### Cause of Failure

• | The TCM wiring harness and connectors

• | The battery

• | The TCM
