DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING 

P0562-BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - ESM 

For complete wiring diagrams refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article. 

Theory of Operation 

The Shift Lever Assembly (SLA) controller (Electronic Shift Module - ESM) monitors ignition voltage. The 
DTC will set if the monitored battery voltage drops below 6.0 volts and a temporary limp in will be activated. If 
the voltage rises above 9.0 volts, normal operations is resumed. 

When Monitored: 

Continuously with the ignition in the run position. 

Set Condition: 

When monitored battery voltage drops below 6.0 volts.

Always perform the NAG1 Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.  

Diagnostic Test 

1) CHECK FOR ENGINE CHARGING SYSTEM DTCS 

With the scan tool, read Engine DTCs. 

Are there any Engine Charging System DTCs present?  

Yes  

Refer to appropriate Engine Electrical Diagnostics article and perform the appropriate symptom.  

Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.  

No  

Go to 2).  

2) CHECK (F1) IGNITION UNLOCK RUN START CIRCUIT

(F1) IGNITION UNLOCK RUN START CIRCUIT
(Z910) GROUND CIRCUITS
SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY

Turn the ignition off to the lock position. 

Disconnect the Shift Lever Assembly harness connector. 

Turn the ignition on. 

Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F1) Ignition Unlock Run Start circuit in the 
Shift Lever Assembly harness connector. 

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

NOTE:

The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a 
direct connection to the battery.

Yes  

Go to 3).  

No  

Repair the (F1) Ignition Unlock Run Start circuit for high resistance.  

Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.  

3) CHECK (Z910) GROUND CIRCUITS

Turn the ignition off to the lock position. 

Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z910) Ground circuit in the Shift Lever 
Assembly harness connector. 

Does the test light illuminate brightly?  

Yes  

Go to 4).  

Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.  

No  

NOTE:

The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a 
direct connection to the battery.
