Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information BCM-0061

Condition




In cars with traction control (STC/DSTC/TRACS), the brake control module (BCM) registers how much the brakes are used and then calculates the temperature of all the brake discs. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the calculated temperature exceeds 450°C.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed when the ignition is switched on.

Substitute value
- Traction Control is blocked.

Hint: Brake system, abbreviations Brake System, Abbreviations

Possible source
- Traction control for too long
- Brakes applied too long (brakes have been used so much that brake disc temperature has become too high).

Note! This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is not due to an internal hardware fault in the Brake control module (BCM) and must not be remedied by replacing the control module.

Fault symptom[s]
- The information lamp is lit
- Traction control is not functioning.

Note! The traction control function is deactivated until the temperature of the brake discs is below 300°C.
