DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P060D
DTC P060D:Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Internal Control Module Malfunction

General Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the analog digital (A/D) converter of the microcontroller. The monitoring of the A/D converter is done by means of a low voltage test impulse and a voltage test out of range. If the A/D converter voltage is out of normal range, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Malfunction Threshold
Case 1
The measured voltage at the A/D converter for accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 2 signal is greater than 0.22 V.
Case 2
The A/D converter test voltage is greater than 4.83 V, or less than 4.73 V.

Possible Cause
NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
PCM internal circuit failure

Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command.
