C061BECM Request - Forced Traction Control Disable
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- C061B is not a brake fault at all. It records that the engine control module told the brake module to switch traction control off, usually because the engine can no longer cut torque on demand. A Hyundai patent spells out the logic: the TCS asks for a torque cut over CAN, the engine reports the torque it delivers, and if the gap stays outside ±10 % too often, TCS is turned off and a warning lamp lit. GM handled this with its own codes: PIC4740C lists C0242 ECM Indicated TCS Malfunction next to C0561, and PIT4169F tells technicians that the PCM usually holds a code too, possibly without a check engine lamp, and not to replace the EBCM. Fix the engine fault first. No maker documents C061B publicly.
