P0560Powertrain
System voltage — malfunction
Where to start
The unit is unhappy with the system voltage. This is a pointer code: the battery, the alternator or a corroded earth is almost always to blame rather than the unit itself. ⚠️ If a bunch of other codes came with it, start here — they are probably consequences.
What to watch in live data
A code is not a diagnosis. It says which check failed, not which part to replace. Clearing it without repair only means the car will report it again in a few trips.

How the app helps
CarScan reads this code from your car through an OBD-II adapter, shows whether it is active now or only stored, names the module that reported it, and puts it into a plain-text report for your mechanic.
