Code p0562 on a 2004 Kia Spectra

Hi there:

P0562 KIA - System Voltage Low
The battery supplies electricity to the ECM even when the ignition switch is OFF. This electricity allows the ECM to store data such as DTC history, freeze frame data, fuel trim values and other data. If the battery voltage falls below a minimum level, the ECM will conclude that there is a fault in the power supply circuit. The next time the engine starts, the ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC will be set.



Possible causes:

- Loose or missing alternator drive belt
- Faulty alternator
- Battery defective
- Open or short system voltage circuit


Tech notes:
Start by recharging or replacing the battery.

The P0562 code is detected when the battery voltage detected by the ECM is less than a calibrated value



Symptoms:
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Slow engine start
- Low battery power


Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
