System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by talk2odim: 12:30pm On Sep 19, 2014 |
Hello car gurus, i went for a scan yesterday and the results were errors on emission control and system voltage (p0560). The auto mechanic says the P0560 error could mean a damaged ECU. Now this got me a bit confused. Now i need to know if a defective ECU will still be able to render errors codes et al. The car appears to drive fine but vibrates intermittently. The plugs are new and the recommended Denso SK20R11 iridium tipped plugs. How does one know if an ECU is defective and is there anyone in the house that could refer a professional that can help sort this out. I am open to useful suggestions before i get ripped off!!! Esteemed car gurus over to u......... |

P0560 Toyota - System Voltage Malfunction Possible causes - Low battery charge - Battery defective - Loose or missing alternator drive belt - Faulty alternator - Open or short system voltage circuit What does this mean? Start by recharging or replacing the battery. When is the code detected? The P0560 code is detected when the Engine Control Module (ECM) voltage out of range. Possible symptoms - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) - Slow engine start - Low battery power P0560 Toyota Description The battery supplies electricity to the Engine Control Module (ECM) even when the ignition switch is OFF. This electricity allows the ECM to store data such as Detected Trouble Code (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 Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and a DTC will be set.

Thks @lomomike, i am honored gurus like you have the time to attended to issues of "minors" like us. I have goggled the interpretation of the code and checked all the possible causes mentioned. What i mean to find out is how to determine if an ECU is defective....would there be any codes to that effect and would a defective ECU still be able to generate error codes et al. I have an impression the auto mech is trying to rip me off and wanna prevent that. More suggestions would be appreciated. |

Bro, I'd like you to read through this. Pay attention to every bit of detail in that link www.techauto.awardspace.com/ecu.html |

Another ECU story again. . Even though your ecu is defective you would get an error code but this might be dependent on the level of defection. There are other obvious and physicall ways to know if an ecu is bad not cos of a mere vibration. Your car is due for tune up. If this is done your car would surely run fine. If you are in lagos could come check the car out for you |

I doubt your ECU is bad, @lomomike has done enough justice to your queries. We await other experts in the house to elucidate on the signs of a bad ECU. But PLEASE don't allow that Mechanic go near your ECU. A mechanic that cannot interprete a DTC should not even lay hands on your bonnet let alone touch your engine. Lomomike....nice piece. 1 Like |

Thks guys....@lomomike I cant seem to connect to the link u sent but will keep trying@bimbor thks.....I am not sure but I think he is trying to take adv of me @mayor2013, yes I am in lagos and what do u mean by a tune up..... two additional codes now involved: C1300 and U0073. Maybe that whatz making him point towards the ECU. Any ideas what this is people? |

Re: System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by Nobody: 6:42am On Sep 20, 2014 |
C1300 Skid control ECU malfucntion What can cause this code condition is the skid control module , or the branke control moduel assemby, before this unit is replaced do a zero point point calibration . for the steering angle |

@lomomike.....cant really say exactly when it came up but the scan was on Wednesday. The camry is the normal 4 plug gasoline engine. |

www.justanswer.com/toyota/5o8xa-toyota-camry-operating-2007-camry-occasionally.html Viola! I just dug out a good explanation for you. Its long so I can't post it instead I posted the link for you to read and follow the expert's advice. If possible, I'd advice you chat with him (if you can). Don't be scared, from the link I saw his profile which states: "Ask Toyotapro Your Own Question Satisfied Customers: 9973 Experience: ASE Certified, 10+ years Lexus and Toyota Certified" |
Re: System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:31pm On Sep 20, 2014 |
talk2odim: In that case follow lomomike's advice to the letter a drop in voltage (below 12v) will make most of the sensors on your vehicle go "gaga". Mean while a suggest you invest in a digital multimeter, it costs 500 for a small one, start your engine, turn on your head lamps and put air-conditioning on full blast then set your multimeter to DC volts 20 put the terminals on the battery and check voltage anything less than 13v then there's a charging fault. 1 Like |

Re: System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by talk2odim: 1:40pm On Sep 20, 2014 |
GAZZUZZ: I will try and get the volt meter as suggested and take the readings. Then one can eliminate battery or alternator issues. Thks |
Re: System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by talk2odim: 1:45pm On Sep 20, 2014 |
GAZZUZZ:Thks for your responses. I appreciate. I read the link and tried to contact the expert but cant explain why my card payment was not being accepted. Just out of curiousity and for the sake of not falling inro qring hands do u have anyone that you can recommend in lagos to do the job. And how much would the compactible ECU cost...any ideas |
Re: System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by GAZZUZZ(m): 4:18pm On Sep 20, 2014 |
talk2odim: Just for the sake of curiosity what are the syptoms the car is giving? All I saw was vibration you wrote earlier is there any thing else? Meanwhile post your vin here (chassis number) https://www.nairaland.com/295433/free-vin-checks/9 and check if your vehicle is salvaged/flooded cars like that almost always have corrosion issues in ecu pins. Also try and clear dtc and re-scan after 50-100km so we know what we are really dealing with. |
Re: System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by talk2odim: 8:56pm On Sep 20, 2014 |
@ Gazzuzz,for now itz just the low idling that tends to make the car vibrate noticeably and it drops quite haeshlt when engaged in drive gear.....I have tried to clear the codes but the P0560 system voltage error code comes back almost immediately. My personal scanner cant see the C1300 and U0073 codes. |
Re: System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by talk2odim: 10:03pm On Sep 20, 2014 |
@ GAZZUZZ....also did the vin report via d link u sent. It came clean with an 88 score. No salvaged/flooded title. No odometer roll backs and with only one previous owner and qualified for auto check buybacks. |
Re: System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:30pm On Sep 20, 2014 |
I think your problem is very straight forward, your idle speed is too slow(less than 600rpm) making your alternator roll slow which is causing a low charge. Clean your throttle body that should restore your idle back to normal operating speed (all you need is a 500naira carb cleaner and a rag) idle might become a bit high but will relearn after a few drive cycles. Also check that your serpentine belt is taut. |
Re: System Voltage Error On 2009 Camry. by talk2odim: 6:41am On Sep 21, 2014 |
@GAZZZUZZ.....thks, that was what I thought initially and prompted me to change all the plugs, have the throttle body cleaned and the injector serviced. The serpentine belt is confirmed to be fine/hard. The alternator fine and also the battery. The idle rpm is 800 and drops to around 700 when engaged in gear (sometimes btw 650 and 600) yet it vibrates noticeably. This was what prompted the need for the comprehensive scan which reveal the codes. Having checked the alternator and battery(to correct the P0560) the only thing left is to check for and open/closed circuit but I am not that technically competent hence the need for someone with such skills and with the automech saying sometin abt the brain box which he is not assertive on. I dnt want to gamble on. |

I need answers to the bolded query above. I wish you success in the troubleshooting this time. |
