P0562 on Chrysler
System Voltage Low
P0562 on Chrysler vehicles indicates system voltage low. Au7o has documented this code across 3 Chrysler models — most commonly on 200, Pacifica, Sebring. P0562 means the engine computer detected that the vehicle's system (battery/charging) voltage is too low for normal operation. The computer constantly monitors charging-system voltage because nearly every sensor, injector, and module depends on a stable supply; sustained low voltage can cause erratic behavior and other false codes. This is most often a charging or battery problem — the alternator isn't keeping up, the battery is weak, or there's resistance in the cables/grounds. You may notice dim lights, slow cranking, or multiple unrelated warning lights. Typical repair costs on Chrysler range from $200 to $1,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0562
- •Failing alternator or worn alternator brushes/regulator
- •Weak, old, or discharged battery
- •Corroded, loose, or damaged battery cables and terminals
- •Bad engine or chassis ground connections
- •Slipping, glazed, or broken serpentine/drive belt
- •High resistance in charging system wiring or fusible link
- •Faulty PCM voltage reference or charging-system control
P0562 on Chrysler by Model
Chrysler 200(1 issue)
- Parasitic Battery Drain - Modules Not Sleeping2015-2017
The second-generation 200 suffers from parasitic battery drain caused by modules not going to sleep properly. The Body Control Module and UConnect system are common culprits. Battery can die in 2-3 days of sitting.
Chrysler Pacifica(2 issues)
- Loose Battery Ground Connection Causing Stall and Loss of Power Steering Assist (Stop/Start)2017-2019
On Pacificas built with the engine stop/start system, sealer left on the wire-harness tab during harness manufacturing sits inside the battery ground joint. Over time the sealer creeps and the joint loses clamp load, so the main chassis/engine ground goes intermittent. The high current draw of stop/start restarts makes it worse. Drivers get sudden electrical dropouts: the engine stalls at speed, electric power steering assist cuts out, and a cluster full of warning lights appears. FCA recalled 198,731 vehicles (NHTSA 19V-348, FCA campaign V53).
- Premature 12V AGM Battery Failure and High Parasitic Drain (Including PHEV Auxiliary Battery)2017-2024
The Pacifica draws an unusually high parasitic current with the vehicle asleep, and the modules can fail to fully shut down - owners document the van entering an unresponsive state where lights and accessories stay powered with no way to switch them off, flattening the battery overnight. Because the van specifies a deep-cycle AGM battery for stop/start duty, short trips never fully recharge it and failures come with no warning, often well inside four years. On the Plug-In Hybrid the 12V auxiliary battery is charged from the high-voltage system, so once it is flat the van cannot boot the hybrid controller at all and the vehicle is dead even with a full traction battery.
Chrysler Sebring(1 issue)
- Alternator and PCM-Integrated Voltage Regulator Failure2001-2010
The Sebring's voltage regulator is integrated into the PCM (Powertrain Control Module), not the alternator. This unusual design means a voltage regulator failure requires PCM diagnosis/replacement rather than simple alternator work. Alternators also fail prematurely around 70,000 miles. Ground corrosion and battery terminal strip issues compound the problem.

What does P0562 mean on Chrysler?▼
P0562 stands for "System Voltage Low." P0562 means the engine computer detected that the vehicle's system (battery/charging) voltage is too low for normal operation. The computer constantly monitors charging-system voltage because nearly every sensor, injector, and module depends on a stable supply; sustained low voltage can cause erratic behavior and other false codes. This is most often a charging or battery problem — the alternator isn't keeping up, the battery is weak, or there's resistance in the cables/grounds. You may notice dim lights, slow cranking, or multiple unrelated warning lights. On Chrysler specifically, this code is documented across 3 models.
