PowertrainP0560
CautionSeverity: Caution - get it checked when you can
System Voltage
Key terms: SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions
Safety: This code relates to the charging system. The battery may go flat and the car may stall.
1What it means in plain English
This range covers vehicle speed, idle and oil-pressure control, charging-system voltage, and brake-switch circuits.
2Common causes
- Carbon build-up in the throttle body
- Faulty idle air control valve
- Faulty vehicle speed sensor
- Faulty charging system or weak battery
- Wiring or connector fault
3Can I drive?
Caution · drive with care
The electrical system may fail and the battery may go flat, risking a stall. If the battery or charging warning light is on, drive straight to a workshop.
This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
