Charging system

Charging codes describe system voltage that is too low, or a generator control circuit the ECU cannot command.

P0562 is system voltage low. P0620 is a generator control circuit. A weak battery, a slipping belt, or a failing alternator can sit behind either symptom: dim lights and a slow crank.

Measure voltage with the engine running before replacing the alternator. The DTC page lists that check.

A trouble code marks a condition to test. It does not by itself prove which part to replace.
