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
- Check-engine light on
- Reduced power / limp mode
- Poor or unresponsive throttle behavior
- May set after a module replacement or reprogramming
Common causes
Most likely first
- Missing or incomplete module auto-configuration for the bank 1 throttle inputLikely
- Open or shorted wiring between the throttle body and the moduleCommon
- Poor connection at the throttle body or module connectorCommon
- Incorrect, corrupted, or outdated module software/configurationLess often
- Failed control module (rare)Less often
How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Read freeze-frame data and note whether the code appeared after a module or throttle replacement — a missing configuration is a common trigger.
- Inspect the throttle input wiring and connectors for opens, shorts, and corrosion.
- Confirm the correct part and that the module has been properly configured/programmed for this vehicle.
- 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.
