DTC P0562: General Description

Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

Driven by the engine, the alternator generates electricity according to the commands from the powertrain control module (PCM). The local interconnect network (LIN) line is connected to the alternator and transmits/receives information to/from the PCM. The PCM sets a target generating voltage in the range of 12.5 V to 14.5 V and commands the alternator via the LIN line. If the IGP terminal voltage is a set value for a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
