Q: What does code C061B mean?

ECM Request - Forced Traction Control Disable. This code indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has sent a request to the traction control system to force a disable of traction control, and the system has stored this request as a fault. The ECM typically makes this request when it detects a condition that could make traction control intervention unsafe or when it needs to prioritize engine control, but the code means the request was made and recorded, not necessarily that a failure has occurred.
