DTC P0563:Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Power Source Circuit Unexpected Voltage (Engine Type: K24W1)

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 ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), or the engine start/stop button is pressed to select the OFF 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 ignition switch or engine start/stop button. When the PCM operates for a set time after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), or the engine start/stop button is pressed to select the OFF mode, it detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

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 and the freeze data are stored. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC

The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
