Technical Description
DTC C0162 is set when the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) detects a circuit malfunction, open circuit, short to voltage/ground, or timing failure in the traction control torque reduction request interface communicating with the Engine Control Module (ECM/PCM). This interface facilitates electronic torque modulation during wheel slip events via hardwired PWM line or dedicated chassis network frames.
Possible Causes
1. Kontaktproblem, oxiderade stift eller stiftvandring (pin backout) i kontaktdonet till EBCM eller ECM.
2. Skadat kablage, kabelbrott eller skavd ledning (kortslutning mot chassi) i motorrummets kabelstam.
3. Defekt utgångssteg/drivsteg för momentbegäran internt i ABS/ESP-styrenheten (EBCM).
4. Internt hårdvaru- eller mjukvarufel i motorstyrdonet (ECM/PCM).

Mechanic's Tip
Before replacing expensive components, always double-check wiring and connections. 80% of all sensor faults are actually due to corroded contacts or broken wires.
