4JX1–TC ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0562 (Flash DTC 35) 

System Voltage Too Low

Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) monitors the system
voltage on the ignition feed terminals to the ECM.  A
system voltage DTC will set whenever the voltage is
above a calibrated value.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

D

The ECM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL).

D

The ECM will store as Failure Records only conditions
which were present when the DTC was set.  This
information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

D

DTC P0563 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the ECM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

If the DTC sets when an accessory is operated, check for
a poor connection or defective accessory.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1562 (Flash DTC 35)

 System Voltage Too Low at Cranking

Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) monitors the system
voltage on the ignition feed terminals to the ECM.  A
system voltage DTC will set whenever the voltage is
above a calibrated value.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

D

The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) at the first time of the fault is detected.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

D

DTC P0563 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the ECM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

If the DTC sets when an accessory is operated, check for

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1587 (Flash DTC 25) 

Brake SW Malfunction

060RW130

Circuit Description

Brake Stop Lamp SW Circuit receives through Stop Lamp
10A fuse from the battery.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

D

The ECM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

D

DTC P1587 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the ECM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

D

Poor connection at ECM – Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.

D

Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage.  If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
Brake SW display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the Brake
SW.  A change in the display will indicate the location
of the fault.

If DTC P1587 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.
