P060E — Internal ECM throttle Position sensor module processor error

About P060E

P060E 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 P060E 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 P060E 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 P060E is set when the Engine Control Module (ECM) identifies an internal processing error within the module that handles data from the throttle position sensor. This indicates a malfunction in the ECM's ability to accurately process and interpret the signals received from the throttle position sensor. The throttle position sensor is critical for providing information about the position of the throttle valve, which the ECM uses to regulate air intake, fuel injection, and engine power. An error in processing this sensor's data can lead to improper engine operation, erratic throttl...
