P060E

Symptoms

• The Check Engine light comes on
• Emergency mode with severe power limitation
• Throttle valve does not open above a certain position
• Unstable idle speed
• Lack of response to the gas pedal or slow response

Causes

• Internal error processing the TPS signal in the ECU
• Malfunction of the ADC in the throttle signal circuit
• Inconsistency between the signals of two TPS sensors (if two are installed)
• Unstable power supply to the throttle control system
• Software failure or outdated ECU firmware

How to Fix

1. Read all error codes - look for P0120–P0124 (TPS sensor errors)
2. Check the power and grounding of the throttle position sensor
3. Measure the voltages of the TPS1 and TPS2 signals at different pedal positions
4. Perform throttle valve adaptation via dealer scanner
5. Check for technical bulletins (TSB) and update ECU firmware
6. If the sensor and wiring are working - diagnostics/replacement of the ECU
