Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information ECM-P061B64

Condition
Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the torque in the engine by reading and interpreting signals from mass air flow sensor, electronic throttle unit and air pressure sensor in the inlet manifold.
Torque is calculated according to two separate methods. The control module checks and compares both results of the calculation.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the engine control module (ECM) detects that both results of the calculations deviate too much from each other.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed in specific driving conditions.

Substitute value
- The engine torque is limited by the throttle position (maximum permitted torque depends on accelerator pedal position).

Possible source
- Air leakage in the intake manifold (downstream of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and electronic throttle unit).
- Damaged throttle unit.
- Damaged mass air flow (MAF) sensor.
- Damaged engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
- Damaged flywheel sensor.
- Damaged air pressure sensor in the inlet manifold.
- Damaged turbocharger (TC) control valve.
- Damaged boost pressure control (BPC) valve pressure servo.
- Damaged turbocharger (TC).
- Damaged VVT-unit.
- Damaged engine control module (ECM).
