P060DInternal Control Module Accelerator Pedal Position Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- The accelerator pedal has two sensor tracks. With P060D the module's own cross-check of the pedal value fails: two processors (GM: main and 'motor' processor) calculate pedal position independently and must agree, and an active test briefly pulls one track to ground – the other must not follow, otherwise the tracks are shorted together. Thresholds: GM 2005 difference over 0.142 V or track 2 over 2.05 V during the test; GM 2006 over 5 %; Ford diesel compares track 1 against twice track 2 (half slope), fault above 547 or 1055 mV for 5 s. GM sets it in the first trip, Ford since 2020 with the check engine and wrench lamps (2012 only the wrench lamp). Unlike P2138, where the two pedal tracks disagree outside the module, P060D is the internal plausibility check.
- What you may notice
- Reduced power, engine barely responds to the pedal
- Check engine light or wrench lamp
- Cruise control disabled
- Raised idle or limp mode
- Likely causes
- LikelyShort between the two pedal sensor signal lines or moisture in the pedal connector
- PossibleFaulty pedal sensor (tracks drifting)
- PossibleFaulty module software (update available)
- RareInternal module fault (converter, processor)
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
