P0562 on Honda
System Voltage Low
P0562 on Honda vehicles indicates system voltage low. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Honda model — most commonly on Accord. 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 Honda range from $300 to $700, 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

- Alternator / Charging System Failure - Battery Light and Dimming2008-2017
The alternator (or its integrated voltage regulator) commonly wears out around 100,000-150,000 miles, showing a battery/charging warning light, headlights and dash lights that dim at idle and brighten with revs, and eventually a no-start from a dead battery. On 9th-gen cars a persistent 'check charging system' light can also stem from the battery-management sensor (see the 17V-418 recall) rather than the alternator, so the charging fault must be pinpointed before parts are replaced.

What does P0562 mean on Honda?▼
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.

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 Honda specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
