Pinpoint Tests

System Voltage High


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 for schematic and connector information.

NOTE: Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0563 can be set if the vehicle has been recently jump started or the battery has been recently charged. The battery may become discharged due to excessive load(s) on the charging system from aftermarket accessories or if vehicle accessories have been operating for an extended period of time without the engine running.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

With the engine running, the charging system supplies voltage to the battery and the vehicle electrical system through the high current BJB and battery B+ cable. The voltage that is supplied to the vehicle electrical system is used for the operation of the various vehicle systems and modules. Many modules monitor this voltage and if it rises above or below their calibrated setpoints, a DTC sets.


  Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Fault Trigger Conditions


DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
P0563 System Voltage High This DTC sets in the PCM when the PCM detects voltage from the charging system greater than 15.9 volts with vehicle speed above 8 km/h (5 mph).
P1397 System Voltage Out of Self-Test Range If the voltage rises above or drops below the calibrated set point, the PCM sets this DTC. This DTC may also be set if the vehicle has been recently jump started or has had a discharged battery.

System Voltage Low or Battery is Discharged


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

With the engine running, the charging system supplies voltage to the battery and the vehicle electrical system through battery B+ cable. The PCM monitors this B+ voltage through PCM VPWR or FPPWR circuits. If the charging system voltage drops 1.5 volts or more below the generator voltage desired (GENVDSD), the DTC sets and the charging system MIL illuminates after 30 seconds.


  Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Fault Trigger Conditions


DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
P0562 System Voltage Low If voltage drops 1.5 volts or more below the generator voltage desired (calculated by the PCM), this DTC sets after 30 seconds.
P1397 System Voltage Out of Self-Test Range If the voltage rises above or drops below the calibrated set point, the PCM sets this DTC . This DTC may also be set if the vehicle has been recently jump started or has had a discharged battery.

Generator Current Sensor Faults


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 13 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The generator current sensor is a Hall-effect sensor attached to the generator B+ cable. It is supplied a 5 volt reference and ground from the PCM. The PCM reads the generator current sensor feedback voltage to determine how much current is flowing through the generator B+ cable.

P0620, P065B


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The PCM monitors the generator output via the generator monitor (GENMON) circuit. The PCM uses the generator command (GENCOM) circuit to command the generator to either increase or decrease output. If the GENCOM circuit (generator control circuit) or the "A" sense circuit are open or shorted to ground, the PCM will not be able to control the generator output. When the engine speed is greater than 2,000 rpm, the generator defaults to a steady voltage output of 13.5 volts and the PCM sends a request to the IPC to illuminate the charging system warning indicator. A GENCOM circuit fault can be confirmed by viewing the PCM PID generator command line fault (GENCMD_LF) (YES status indicator fault).


  Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Fault Trigger Conditions


DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
P0620 Generator Control Circuit The PCM sets this DTC if the GENCOM circuit, "A" sense circuit, or B+ circuit is open or shorted to ground.

DTC P0625 or P0626


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The PCM monitors the generator output via the generator monitor (GENMON) circuit (generator field terminal circuit). If the PCM cannot read the GENMON circuit due to an open or short to ground, when the engine speed is greater than 2,000 rpm, the generator defaults to a steady voltage of 13.5 volts and the PCM sends a request to the IPC to illuminate the charging system warning indicator. A GENMON duty cycle of 3% or less indicates a short to ground fault is present and results in DTC P0625 setting in the PCM . A GENMON duty cycle of 98% or more indicates an open or short to voltage fault is present and results in DTC P0626 setting in the PCM.


  Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Fault Trigger Conditions


DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
P0625 Generator Field Terminal Circuit Low The PCM sets this DTC if the GENMON circuit is shorted to ground, the "A" sense circuit is open or the B+ circuit is open. This DTC also sets by a faulted PCM or generator.

Load Shed Message Displays in Message Center


Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

When the engine is off and the key is in on or accessory mode, and the BCM determines the battery state of charge is below 50%, or 45 minutes have elapsed, a load shed message is sent over the CAN. This message turns off the audio/navigation system to save the remaining battery charge. Under this condition the a load shed message will be displayed to notify the driver that battery protection actions are active:

  • System Off to Save Battery Turn Ignition Off displays on the FCDIM (without touchscreen controls)
  • SYSTEM OFF TO SAVE BATTERY PLEASE TURN IGNITION OFF OR START ENGINE displays on the FDIM (with touchscreen controls)
  • Battery Saver - System Off displays on the FDIM (with Sync)

These messages displaying may be normal operation and not indicate a fault. Refer to the Owner Literature and

    Understanding Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System

    Ford Fusion. Understanding Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System

    The tire pressure monitoring system measures pressure in your road tires and sends the tire pressure readings to your vehicle. You can view the tire pressure readings through the information display. The low tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire pressure is significantly low. Once the light is illuminated, your tires are under-inflated and need to be inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. Even if the light turns on and a short time later turns off, your tire pressure still needs to be checked.
