What does code P1336 mean?

Q: What does code P1336 mean?

Engine Torque Adaptation At Limit. P1336 on Volkswagen vehicles means the engine control module (ECM) has reached the upper or lower limit of its ability to adapt torque delivery, typically through ignition timing and throttle control. The ECM stores this code when the learned torque correction values can no longer compensate for a mechanical or sensor deviation, so the engine cannot meet the requested torque within its programmed authority.
