P0562 indicates system voltage was detected below a calibrated threshold. Note whether the code appeared during cranking, at idle, or while electrical loads were on, and check for other low-voltage or communication codes.

Inspect battery connections and grounds for looseness or corrosion, then test the battery and charging system using the manufacturer's procedure. One low-voltage event can create several secondary codes.

Quick educational note

For information, not a diagnosis or repair instruction. Vehicle-specific checks are still required. Consult the manufacturer's guidance and a qualified technician.
