P060FInternal Control Module Coolant Temperature 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
- Coolant temperature feeds the torque model of the engine (friction, cold start), which the level 2 monitoring of the electronic throttle concept recalculates. P060F means the module's internal cross-check of this value failed: the temperature used by the main software and the value captured or recalculated by the monitoring level or a second converter path do not agree. No manufacturer table available to us (GM 2004–2025, Ford 2012/2020–23/diesel 2023, Saab) describes P060F with thresholds, so this explanation follows the pattern of P060D/P060E and CARB's rationality requirement for the coolant temperature sensor. Expect a substitute temperature, a permanently running fan and possibly reduced power. Sensor faults themselves are P0115–P0119; if those are present, start there.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light or service lamp
- Possibly reduced power
- Radiator fan runs constantly (substitute value)
- Implausible temperature gauge
- Likely causes
- PossibleInternal module fault in a converter or processor path
- PossibleFaulty module software (update available)
- RareLoose contact at the coolant temperature sensor that jumps between samples
- RareUnstable supply voltage or poor ground at the module (weak battery, voltage spikes)
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
- Repair
- Hard · Usually a job for a workshop.Typical cost: €100 – €1,500
