P0562 on Nissan
System Voltage Low
P0562 on Nissan vehicles indicates system voltage low. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Nissan model — most commonly on Sentra. 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 Nissan range from $180 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

Nissan Sentra(1 issue)
- Intermittent No-Start or Engine Stall Linked to Stop/Start and 12V Battery Weakness2023-2025
A recurring owner complaint on newer Sentras involves weak factory batteries, hard starting, no-start conditions, or stalling/rough restart behavior associated with the idle stop/start system. The problem often appears early in ownership and may be aggravated by short-trip driving or battery state-of-charge issues. In some cases, owners report multiple jump-starts or battery replacement within the first few years.
