The system has a "plausibility check." If the ECU calculates a specific torque value but the actual engine parameters (RPM, load) do not match that calculation, or if the processor encounters a logic error during the calculation, the code P061A98 is stored.
A Mercedes-Benz experiencing this error will likely exhibit noticeable performance drops: P061A Code: Internal Control Module Torque Performance 19 Aug 2024 —
This error is rarely about a mechanical break and almost always about a . Common triggers include:
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM/ECM) constantly compares the desired torque (calculated from the accelerator pedal) with the actual torque
