C0061
Not individually documented
C0061 is a standardised code, but it is not one of the codes with a single agreed description. Rather than guess at a meaning, this page gives what its structure genuinely tells you and what we see when it turns up in real work.

Where we have seen it most
These are counts from our own work, not a claim about how common the fault is across all vehicles. They describe what independent workshops brought to us, which is a narrower and more specific thing.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I run a diagnosis?
Select the vehicle on Start, click the Diagnostic card and choose New diagnostic. Fill in the description, the error codes and the mileage, then click Analyze.
Do I have to type the codes from my scan tool?
No. Click the camera button next to Error codes and take or choose a photo of the scan tool's screen; WrenchLane reads the codes and their descriptions into the form. You can also speak them with the microphone.
Are the public fault code pages built from my diagnostics?
They use diagnostics run in WrenchLane, with no workshop, customer, registration number or VIN shown. Each fault code page shows how often the code was seen and in how many workshops.
