P0562 DODGE – System Under Voltage

P0562 Code Mean?

OBD-II Code P0562 is defined as a System Voltage Low
The purpose of the Charging System is to maintain an ideal vehicle voltage level, which is usually 14.1 – 14.4 volts DC when the vehicle is idling with the lights off. When the code P0562 is set in the Powertrain Computer, it means that the Powertrain Computer or PCM is seeing a lower than requested vehicle voltage. The code will set when the voltage level goes below 10.0 volts for more than 60 seconds while the engine is running.

P0562 Causes

• Loose or damaged terminals at the alternator
• PCM failure
• Loose or worn alternator drive belt or serpentine belt
• Corroded, broken, or chafed wiring

P0562 Dodge Description

The battery supplies electricity to the Engine Control Module (ECM) even when the ignition switch is OFF. This electricity allows the ECM to store data such as Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) history, freeze frame data, fuel trim values and other data. If the battery voltage falls below a minimum level, the ECM will conclude that there is a fault in the power supply circuit. The next time the engine starts, the ECM will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and a DTC will be set.
