z

When the vehicle exits START the module shall delay checking the voltage for 2 seconds.  

Action Taken When DTC Sets 

z

A message shall be sent out on the class 2 lines to notify all other modules of low battery voltage.  

z

The modules disable the setting of U codes and other DTCs.

Test Description 

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.  

3 - Tests for the proper voltage at battery positive voltage sense circuit of the module, if voltage is not 
within the proper operating range, the voltage sense circuit needs to be tested.  

4 - Tests the circuit for high resistance.  

5 - Tests for the proper ground circuit for the module.  

Diagnostic Procedures 

1. Did you perform the Engine Electrical Diagnostic System Check? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to 

DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE ELECTRICAL .  

2. Install a scan tool. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. With a scan tool, observe the battery 

voltage parameter in the affected module data list. Or with a DMM, measure the battery voltage at the 
appropriate circuit of the module. Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value? 9.4 V. If 
yes, go to step 6 . If no, go to next step.  

3. Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the harness connector of the module setting the DTC B1327. Measure 

the voltage between the battery positive voltage circuit of the module setting the DTC B1327 and the 
ground circuit of the module setting the DTC B1327. Does the voltage measure greater than the specified 
value? 9.4 V. If yes, go to step 6 . If no, go to next step.  

4. Test the batter positive voltage circuit of the module setting the code for a high resistance or an open. Did 

you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 8 . If no, go to next step.  

5. Test the ground sense circuit of the module setting the code for a high resistance or an open. Did you find 

and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 8 . If no, go to next step.  

6. Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the module setting the DTC. Did you find and 

correct the condition? If yes, go to step 8 . If no, go to next step.  

7.  

Replace the module setting the DTC. Refer to Body Control Module. After replacement, go to next step.  

8. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs. Operate the vehicle within the CONDITIONS FOR 

RUNNING DTC . Does the DTC reset? If yes, go to step 2 . If no, system OK.  

DTC B1328 

Circuit Description 

All vehicle modules monitor system voltage. The system voltage message is sent to other modules via Class 2 
message. When the system voltage is above the specified range DTC B1328 shall set within the affected 
module.  

Conditions For Running DTC 

This DTC shall run only if the module has power, ground and the ignition is not in START mode. This DTC 

NOTE:

Perform the setup procedure for the module setting the code, if necessary.

shall execute regardless of the battery voltage, except when the DTC B1390 is set current.  

Conditions For Setting DTC 

This DTC will set as current when the voltage is greater than 15.9 volts for 1.2 seconds and DTC B1390 is not 
set current in the affected module.  

Action Taken When DTC Sets 

z

A message shall be sent out on the class 2 lines to notify all other modules of high than normal battery 
voltage.  

z

The modules disable the setting of U codes and other DTCs.  

Conditions For Clearing DTC 

z

The DTC will clear current status when the voltage is less than 15.5 volts for 1.2 seconds.  

z

A history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no 
longer present.  

z

Use a scan tool.  

Diagnostic Aids 

Using a battery charger to jump start the vehicle may set DTC B1328 as a history code.  

Test Description 

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.  

3 - Tests for the proper voltage at the affected module. If the voltage is not within the proper operating 
range, the charging system needs to be checked  

4 - Setup procedure for the module replacement.  

Diagnostic Procedures 

1. Did you perform the Engine Electrical Diagnostic System Check? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to 

DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE ELECTRICAL .  

2. Install a scan tool. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. With a scan tool, monitor the DTC 

Information for DTC B1328 in the affected module. Does the scan tool indicate that DTC B1328 is 
current? If yes, go to step 4 . If no, go to next step.  

3. With a scan tool, monitor the DTC Information for DTC B1328 in the affected module. Does the scan 

tool indicate that DTC B1328 is current? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .  

4.  

Replace the module setting the code. Refer to Body Control Module. After replacement, go to next step.

RUNNING DTC . Does the DTC reset? If yes, go to step 2 . If no, system OK.  

DTC P0562 

Circuit Description 

The PCM monitors the system voltage to make sure that the voltage stays within the proper range. If the PCM 
detects an excessively low system voltage, DTC P0562 will set.  

When the charging system detects a fault, the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) displays a message or the charge 
indicator will light.

z

The PCM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.

The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Failure Records data only.  

z

The PCM disables most outputs.
