Circuit Description

Ignition 1 voltage circuit is the ignition voltage feed for the powertrain control module (PCM). Battery positive voltage circuit is the battery feed for the PCM.

If the PCM detects either a low system voltage or a high system voltage for a short time, then DTC P0560 sets. DTC P0560 is a type C DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC

System Voltage Low

The engine speed is greater than 1,500 RPM.

System Voltage High

No engine speed needed.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

System Voltage Low

One of the following conditions exist for greater than 15 seconds:

•	The system voltage is less than 10.5 volts at a maximum transmission temperature of 152°C (305°F).

•	The system voltage is less than 6.7 volts at a minimum transmission temperature of -40°C (-40°F).

System Voltage High

System voltage is greater than 19 volts for 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

•	The PCM commands an immediate landing to second gear.

•	The PCM turns off the PC solenoid valve.

•	The PCM inhibits the TCC engagement.

•	The PCM freezes the shift adapts.

•	The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Failure Records.

•	The PCM stores DTC P0560 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history.

•	The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission related diagnostic fault occurring.

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

Diagnostic Aids

•	Charging the battery with a battery charger and jumpstarting an engine may set DTCs.

•	DTC P0560 defaults to an elevated line pressure condition which may result in TCC partial apply. This may induce idle surge and engine stall.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

Yes

Did you perform the Powertrain Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls in Engine Controls

Install a Scan Tool .
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Important: Before clearing the DTC, use the Scan Tool in order to record the Failure Records. Using the Clear Info function erases the Failure Records from the PCM.

Record the DTC Failure Records.
Clear the DTC.
If any DTCs are present, refer to their applicable diagnostic tables before continuing.
Using the J 39200 digital multimeter (DMM), measure the battery voltage across the battery terminals.
Record the battery voltage measurement for future reference.

Does the voltage measure higher than the specified value?

10.5 V

Go to Step 3

Go to Charging System Test in Engine Electrical

Remove the ECM B fuse.
Inspect the ECM B fuse for an open.

Is the fuse open?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 4

Remove the ECM 1 fuse.
Inspect the ECM 1 fuse for an open.

Is the fuse open?

Go to Step 12

Go to Step 5

Start the engine.
Allow the engine to warm to normal operating temperature.

Does the generator lamp illuminate?

Go to Charging System Test in Engine Electrical

Go to Step 6

Increase the engine speed to greater than 1,500 RPM.
Observe the Scan Tool ignition voltage.

Does the ignition voltage measure within the specified range?

13-15 V

Go to Step 7

Go to Charging System Test in Engine Electrical

Turn OFF the ignition.
Disconnect the PCM connector C3. Additional DTCs will set.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Measure the battery voltage input at the PCM connector terminal C3-C13. Use the J 39200 DMM and the J 35616 connector test adapter kit.

Is there a voltage variance between the voltage measured at the battery, in Step 2, and at terminal C3-C13 that is greater than the specified value?

0.5 V

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 9

Repair the high resistance condition in the battery power feed circuit (CKT 440) of the PCM.

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you complete the repair?

Go to Step 14

Measure the ignition voltage input at PCM connector terminal C3-C11.

Is there a voltage variance between the voltage measured at the battery, in Step 2, and at terminal C3-C11 that is greater than the specified value?

0.5 V

Go to Step 10

Go to Step 13

Repair the high resistance condition in the ignition 1 voltage circuit (CKT 339) of the PCM.

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you complete the repair?

Go to Step 14

Test the battery power feed (CKT 440) for a short to ground between the PCM connector C3-C13, C3-D13 and the Underhood Fuse-Relay Center.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Test the ignition 1 voltage circuit (CKT 339) for a short to ground between the PCM connector C3-C11, C3-C12 and the Underhood Fuse-Relay Center.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Replace the PCM.

Refer to Powertrain Control Module Replacement in Engine Controls.

Did you complete the replacement?

Go to Step 14

Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:

Select DTC.
Select Clear Info.
Operate the vehicle under the following conditions:

•	Start the vehicle.

•	Warm the vehicle to normal operating temperature.

•	Using the Scan Tool , verify that the PCM sees an ignition voltage between 8.3 and 16.5 volts.

Select Specific DTC.
Enter DTC P0560.

Has the test run and passed?

System OK
