P0562 Ford OBD-II Trouble CodeDescription:
OBD Trouble Code P0562
System Voltage Low
What does the code mean? OBD-ii Code P0562 definition:
The battery supplies electricity to the ECM even when the ignition switch is OFF. This electricity allows the ECM to store data such as 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 MIL and a DTC will be set.
