P161B Internal Control Module Torque Calculation Performance

AutoHex Online Help: Hyundai SONATA(NF) 2006
Component Location
General Description

Comparing actual torque and desired torque, PCM diagnoses calculated torque state. Actual torque keeps lower than desired torque, PCM checks if actual torque is higher than desired torque. deviding condition into two state, dynamic and steady states, PCM applies different diagnosis logic. Because the responses due to this code is similar to that of MAF control error, checking MAF at first.



DTC Description

If the difference between actual torque and desired torque is higher than the threshold value, PCM sets P161B and MIL(Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on when the malfunction lasts till 1 driving cycle.
