Test Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Ford RV Cutaway, 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- A1 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) P0562 OR P0563 NOTE: DTC P0563 may set during a 24-volt jump start. DTC P0562 may set during crank with a low battery condition.
- Check the battery and charging system voltages. Refer to CHARGING SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION .
Are the battery and charging system voltages within specifications?
Yes No GO to A2 REPAIR as necessary. REFER to CHARGING SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION .
CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. - A2 CHECK THE PCM POWER RELAY VOLTAGE CIRCUITS NOTE: For E-Series, the PCM diode is internal to the battery junction box (BJB).
- Key in OFF position.
- PCM Power Relay connector disconnected.
- Key ON, engine OFF.
- Measure the voltage between:
( + ) PCM Power Relay Connector, Harness Side ( - ) B+ Ground IGN START/RUN Ground
Are the voltages greater than 10 V?
Yes No GO to A3. REPAIR the open circuit. CLEAR the DTCs.
REPEAT the self-test. - A3 CHECK THE PCM POWER RELAY COIL GROUND CIRCUIT NOTE: For F-Super Duty, the PCM diode is internal to the central junction box (CJB).
- Connect a non-powered test lamp between:
( + ) PCM Power Relay Connector, Harness Side ( - ) PCM Power Relay Connector, Harness Side B+ GND
Does the test lamp illuminate?
Yes No GO to A4. REPAIR the open circuit. CLEAR the DTCs.
REPEAT the self-test. - Connect a non-powered test lamp between:
- A4 CHECK THE PCM POWER RELAY
- Carry out the PCM power relay component test. Refer to COMPONENT TESTING .
Does the PCM power relay pass the component test?
Yes No GO to A5. INSTALL a new PCM Power relay. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. - A5 CHECK THE PCM VOLTAGE CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- PCM connector disconnected.
- Measure the resistance between:
( + ) PCM Power Relay Connector, Harness Side ( - ) PCM Connector, Harness Side VPWR VPWR - Pin B34, B46
Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
Yes No GO to A6. REPAIR the open circuit. CLEAR the DTCs.
REPEAT the self-test. - A6 CHECK THE PCM GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between:
( + ) PCM Connector, Harness Side ( - ) PWRGND - Pin B10, B11, B23 Ground
Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
Yes No GO to A7. REPAIR the open circuit. CLEAR the DTCs.
REPEAT the self-test. - Measure the resistance between:
- A7 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 FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) . The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
