Relay
A1 CHECK FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
Is DTC P0560 or P0563 present?
Yes No
GO to A2 . GO to A3 .
A2 DTCS P0560 AND P0563: CHECK THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM
Note: DTC P0563 may set during a 24-volt jump start. DTC P0560 may set during crank with a low
battery condition.
Check the battery and charging system voltages. Refer to the Workshop Manual Section 414-00,
Charging System.
Are the battery and charging system voltages within specifications?
Yes No
REPAIR as necessary. REFER to the Workshop
Manual Section 414-00, Charging System.
GO to A3 .
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
A3 CHECK THE PCM POWER RELAY
Carry out the PCM power relay component test. Refer to the Wiring Diagrams Cell 149 Component
Testing.
Did the PCM power relay pass the component test?
Yes No
INSTALL a new PCM Power Relay. CLEAR the

A12 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION
Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
Visually inspect for:
pushed out pins
corrosion
Connect all the PCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
Carry out the PCM self-test and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes No
INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to Section 2, The system is operating correctly at this time.
Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read The concern may have been caused by a loose
Only Memory (EEPROM) . or corroded connector.
