Monitor Description

The battery supplies power to the ECM even when the ignition switch is OFF. This power allows the ECM to record data such as DTC history, freeze frame data, and F/B learning values. When the battery voltage falls below the minimum level, memory becomes cleared, and the ECM judges it as a power supply circuit malfunction. When the engine is started subsequently, the ECM turns on the MIL and records the DTC.

DTC No. DTC detection conditions Suspected parts
P0560 While the engine is running, the terminal voltage of the backup power supply is 3.5 V or less for 2.5 seconds or more.
(1 trips detection logic)
  • Open circuit in back-up power supply circuit
  • Battery
  • Battery terminal
  • ECM
NOTE: If DTC P0560 is recorded, the ECM does not record other DTCs, or the data recorded in the ECM becomes partially cleared.
