C0074Requested Driving Torque
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Covers the requested-driving-torque signal that the ABS/ESC module sends to the powertrain controller during traction and stability control, the counterpart to the delivered-torque signal C0073. When a driven wheel spins the stability controller computes a torque-reduction request and transmits it; this code is set when that request path is faulty, the value is out of range, or the request and the powertrain's response are inconsistent. Traction-control patents describe how the controller overrides the driver's torque demand transiently to bring slip to target by cutting spark, fuel or throttle. A fault limits traction and stability control and sets the ABS/ESC warning lamp while base braking remains; it usually appears together with powertrain or communication codes. The entry follows the SAE J2012 generic definition.
