Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information
2004 Volvo V70 L5-2.4L VIN 64 B5244S6SECTION Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information
Condition
In cars with traction control (STC/DSTC/TRACS), the brake control module registers how much the brakes are used and then calculates the temperature of all brake discs. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) BCM-0061 is stored if the calculated temperature exceeds 450°C.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed while the ignition is switched on.
Substitute value
- Traction control is blocked.
Hint: For information about brake system abbreviations, see Brake system, abbreviations Brake System, Abbreviations.
Possible source
- Excessive anti-spin control
- Brakes applied too long (brakes have been used so much that brake disc temperature has become too high).
Note! This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is not due to an internal hardware fault in the Brake control module (BCM) and must not be remedied by replacing the control module.
Fault symptom[s]
- Anti-spin does not function.
Note! The anti-spin function is deactivated until the temperature of the brake discs is below 300°C.
