P063E

Auto Configuration Throttle Input Not Present Bank 1

ECM/PCM internal Generic OBD-II High

What it means

P063E means that during its automatic configuration the control module did not find the expected throttle input for bank 1. This often follows a module replacement or reprogramming, or points to wiring between the throttle body and the computer. Because the module can't confirm its throttle setup, the engine commonly drops into reduced-power limp mode.

High

Can I keep driving? Limit driving — the computer can't confirm its throttle input configuration, which commonly forces reduced-power limp mode.

Common symptoms

What you'll notice

Common causes

Most likely first

  1. Missing or incomplete module auto-configuration for the bank 1 throttle input
  2. Open or shorted wiring between the throttle body and the module
  3. Poor connection at the throttle body or module connector
  4. Incorrect, corrupted, or outdated module software/configuration
  5. Failed control module (rare)

How to diagnose & fix

Work through it in order

  1. Read freeze-frame data and note whether the code appeared after a module or throttle replacement — a missing configuration is a common trigger.
  2. Inspect the throttle input wiring and connectors for opens, shorts, and corrosion.
  3. Confirm the correct part and that the module has been properly configured/programmed for this vehicle.
  4. Reflash or re-run the auto-configuration procedure per the manufacturer's process; if the input still isn't recognized, suspect wiring or the module. Clear the code and re-test.

FAQ

Quick answers

Is it safe to drive with P063E?+
Not for extended driving. The computer can't verify its throttle input, so the engine usually enters reduced-power limp mode. Have it diagnosed before relying on it.
Can I just clear P063E?+
You can, but if the configuration or wiring is at fault it will return. This code often needs the module to be correctly programmed rather than simply cleared.
