IMA System (MCM)

Advanced Diagnostics - DTC P0562 (94): Motor Control Module (MCM) Power Source Circuit Unexpected Voltage






General Description
The motor control module (MCM) stores the actual voltage value of the back-up power source that is continuously supplied through the VBU terminal when the ignition switch is in LOCK (0). When the input voltage to the MCM is considerably lower than the normal range, the MCM cannot store the actual value. In that case, an open or short to GND in the signal wire is detected and a DTC is stored.
