C0073Delivered Driving Torque
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Covers the delivered-driving-torque signal that the engine or powertrain controller reports to the ABS/ESC module during traction and stability control. To limit wheel spin the stability controller asks the powertrain to reduce torque; it then needs confirmation of how much torque was actually delivered to close the loop. This code is set when the delivered-torque value is missing, out of range or does not match the request, for example because of a communication fault or a powertrain controller problem. Traction-control patents describe the request/deliver handshake between the stability and engine controllers for torque reduction. A fault limits traction and stability control and sets the ABS/ESC warning lamp while base braking remains. The entry follows the SAE J2012 generic definition.
