DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P0563
DTC P0563: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Power Source Circuit Unexpected Voltage
General Description
If there is a short to ground in the harness between the powertrain control module (PCM) and PGM-FI main relay 1, PGM-FI main relay 1 stays ON even if the vehicle is turned to the OFF (LOCK) mode, and the PCM remains active. However, the engine is not running because power for the gauges, the ignition, and the fuel pump is turned OFF by the power switch. When the PCM operates for a set time after the vehicle is turned to the OFF (LOCK) mode, it detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type
| Execution | Continuous |
| Sequence | None |
| Duration | 5 seconds or more |
| DTC Type | Two drive cycles, MIL off |
Enable Conditions
| Condition | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| 12 volt battery voltage [Battery] (FI_MAIN_RLY_OUT terminal of PCM) | 10.0 V | - |
| Vehicle | OFF (LOCK) mode | |
[ ]: HDS Parameter
Malfunction Threshold
The PCM operates for at least 5 seconds after the vehicle is turned to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
Possible Cause
The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
- PGM-FI main relay 1 stuck on failure
- PGM-FI main relay 1 FI_MAIN_RLY_CL- line short to ground
- PCM internal circuit failure
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored. The MIL does not come on.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
