    REFER to: Electric Powertrain Control - System Operation and Component Description .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    SOBDMC P0563:00 System Voltage High: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets when the internal processor voltages are greater than a calibrated range.

    Possible Sources 

    • External excessive voltage
    • 24-volt jump start
    • Inverter System Controller (ISC)

  2. C1 CHECK THE INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect Inverter System Controller (ISC) C199A.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C199A-14

      Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 10.5 V? 

    Yes  GO to  C2
    No  DIAGNOSE the low voltage symptom. Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs.
  3. C2 CHECK THE INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C199A-14

      Ground

    Is the voltage less than 16V? 

    Yes  GO to  C3
    No  DIAGNOSE the high voltage symptom. Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Inverter System Controller DTCs.
  4. C3 CHECK FOR INVERTER SYSTEM CONTROLLER (ISC) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Connect Inverter System Controller (ISC) C199A.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Inverter System Controller (ISC) DTCs.

    • Allow the Inverter System Controller (ISC) to complete a normal power down sequence.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the Inverter System Controller (ISC) self-test.

    Was DTC P0563 read from the Inverter System Controller (ISC)? 

    Yes  DTC P0563 frequently sets after the vehicle has been jump-started. A key cycle, followed by clearing DTCs is expected to clear this DTC, if the DTC continuously returns, INSTALL a new Inverter System Controller (ISC). REFER to: Inverter System Controller [SOBDMC] .
    No  Test is complete, no faults were found.
