## DTC P0560 System Voltage 3.8L VIN K

### Circuit Description

Circuit 439 is the ignition voltage feed for the PCM. Circuit 340 is the battery voltage feed for the PCM.

When the PCM detects a low voltage and a high voltage, then DTC P0560 sets. DTC P0560 is a type D DTC.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

The system voltage is low:

• | The engine speed is greater than 800 RPM.

• | The system voltage is less than 10 volts.

• | All conditions are met for 2 seconds.

A high system voltage will cause DTC P0560 to set, if the system voltage is greater than 16 volts for 2 seconds.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | All transmission output devices are OFF.

• | The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.

• | The PCM will NOT illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• | A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.

• | The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.

### Diagnostic Aids

• | Charging the battery with a battery charger may set DTCs. Jumpstarting an engine may set DTCs.

• | If DTCs set when you operate an accessory, inspect the applicable wiring for faulty connections. If DTCs set when you operate an accessory, inspect the applicable wiring for excessive current draw.

• | Inspect the starter solenoid for faulty connections. Examine the starter solenoid fusible link.

• | Inspect the generator for a damaged terminal.

• | Inspect the belts for damage. Check the belt for correct tension.

## DTC P0560 System Voltage 5.7L VIN P

### Circuit Description

Circuit 439 is the ignition voltage feed for the PCM. Circuit 340 is the battery voltage feed for the PCM.

When the PCM detects a low voltage and the PCM detects a high voltage, then DTC P0560 sets. DTC P0560 is a type D DTC.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

The system voltage is low:

• | The engine speed is greater than 1000 RPM.

• | The system voltage is less than 10 volts at a maximum transmission temperature of 150°C (302°F).

• | The system voltage is less than 7.3 volts at a minimum transmission temperature of -40°C (-40°F).

• | All conditions are met for 4 seconds.

A high system voltage causes DTC P0560 to set, if the system voltage is greater than 17 volts for 2 seconds.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | All transmission output devices are OFF except the TCC PWM Solenoid Valve and the 3-2 Shift Solenoid Valve Assembly.

• | The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.

• | The PCM does NOT illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
