P060EInternal Control Module Throttle 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
- P060E is the throttle counterpart of P060D. The throttle body also has two position sensor tracks, and the module checks whether it can still detect a short between them: during an active test one track is influenced briefly, and the second processor (GM 'motor processor') confirms that the test actually ran. GM 2005 sets the code when track 2 exceeds 1.75 V during the test or no test activity is seen for 500 ms, GM 2006 at 2.05 V or 498 ms, each after two counts of about 155 ms, with the lamp in the first trip; GM Europe rates it type C with reduced power. Ford does not use P060E. The throttle opening is limited or set to its default position. External disagreement between the two tracks is P2135; circuit faults of single tracks are P0120–P0123 and P0220–P0223.
- What you may notice
- Reduced power
- Check engine light (GM) or service lamp (GM Europe)
- Hesitant or jerky throttle response
- Cruise control not working
- Likely causes
- LikelyShort between the throttle sensor signal lines or moisture in the throttle connector
- PossibleFaulty throttle body (sensor)
- PossibleInternal module fault (test circuit, second processor)
- RareFaulty module software (update available)
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
