P0562-BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

Theory of Operation


Friction element distress could result from an insufficient supply voltage to properly control the solenoids. To prevent this possibility, the battery voltage is monitored and the system is placed in logical limp-in if the battery voltage drops below the limit.



Possible Causes
RELATED CHARGING SYSTEM DTCS
(Z903 ) GROUND CIRCUITS OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
(T16) TRANSMISSION CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE


Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)



Diagnostic Test

1. RELATED CHARGING SYSTEM DTCS

With the scan tool, read the Engine DTCs.

Are there any related Charging System DTCs also present?

Yes


No

2. CHECK FOR TIPM DTCS

NOTE: Generator, battery, and charging system must be fully functional before performing this test.


With the scan tool, read TIPM DTCs.

Are there any TCM TIPM DTCs present.

Yes


No

3. CONDITION P0562 PRESENT

With the scan tool, read Transmission DTCs.
With the scan tool, check the Starts Since Set counter for P0562.

NOTE: This counter only applies to the last DTC set.



Is the STARTS SINCE SET counter set at 0?

Yes


No

4. CHECKING (Z903) GROUND CIRCUITS



Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector and connect Miller tool #8815.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.


CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.


Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the PCM (Z903) Ground circuits at the appropriate terminals of Miller tool #8815.

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



Does the test light illuminate brightly for all of the Ground circuits?

Yes


No

5. CHECK THE (T16) TRANSMISSION CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT



Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Disconnect the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool under TIPM, actuate the Transmission.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check all (T16) Transmission Control Output circuits at the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector and the appropriate terminals of Miller tool #8815.

NOTE: The (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit branches off to both Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly and the PCM.



Does the test light illuminate brightly while cycling on and off on all (T16) Transmission Control Output circuits?

Yes


No

6. CHECK THE (T16) TRANSMISSION CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN



Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Disconnect the TIPM C2 harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit between the TIPM C2 harness connector and both the Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly harness connector and the appropriate terminals of Miller tool #8815.

Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms on any circuit?

Yes


No

7. INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS

The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.

Where there any problems found?

Yes


No
