P060D — Internal ECM throttle Pedal position sensor module processor error

About P060D

P060D is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P060D is stored, the module has detected a sensor-related fault — the reported value from the named sensor is out of spec.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P060D is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The fault code P060D is set when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects an internal processor error specifically related to the module that processes signals from the throttle pedal position sensor. This indicates a malfunction in the ECM's ability to correctly interpret and respond to the data received from the throttle pedal position sensor. The throttle pedal position sensor plays a crucial role in determining the driver's demand for power, influencing fuel injection and engine power output. An internal processor error in this module can lead to erratic throttle response, engine performanc...
