DTC P061A - Who has had this DTC?

[HTX1811]

About 1,000 miles ago, 3 weeks, I used the SCT BDX tuner and tuned the truck for 93 octane. I have only used 93 octane in the truck. I have had only one issue and it was about 300 miles ago. It has not happened again but here is the story.

I was getting on the interstate and mashed the gas. Doing about 35 on the on ramp I mashed the gas, 85-90% throttle. The truck bogged down, like limp mode, and would not accelerate. It did this for just a split second. I immediately lifted off the gas, waited a second or two then pushed the gas about 50%. Truck accelerated with no issues.

It has not done it again and I have done several 90-100% throttle pulls. At the time I thought that was odd but chalked it up to one of those things until last night when I was using the Hypertech to program for tire size.

It had a DTC code of P061A. A quick search reveals that code is:

"When a code P061A is stored, it means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an internal performance error in the engine torque monitoring system."

I cleared the code, programmed for tire size, and all has been good. At the end of the weekend, I will see if the code comes back.

Anyone have any other experience with this DTC code?

It had a DTC code of P061A, the same code mentioned earlier in this thread. A quick search reveals that code is:

"When a code P061A is stored, it means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an internal performance error in the engine torque monitoring system."

I dont have this code but I would suggest not clearing the codes,that way there is something for the dealer to see and gives you proof of it. Bret

The problem with that is it's tuned so don't need the dealership messing around and voiding the warranty. The hazards of tuning. Risk vs reward. If the problem continues, I will de-tune and run the truck with no tune and see if it does it. If it does, then a dealer issue. If not, a tuner issue.

It would be nice if you could data log and send that to the tuner. If you replicate the code then go back to stock and cannot replicate the code then I would say your tuner is on the hook.

I have a lap top and the ability to data log. If it does it again I will begin to data log.

The problem has not happened again and I now have 19,xxx miles on the truck. Been tuned the entire time.
