Measures boost pressure.
: DTC060AF1 rarely acts alone. It is almost always accompanied by secondary codes like DTC061A61 (Signal Calculation Failure), DTC056016 (Computer Supply Voltage Permanent Low), or DTC065711 (Main Relay Control Circuit Short to Earth). 3. Top Causes Triggering the Safety Mode 1 Flag
: In AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) models like the Renault Kwid, the gear and brake pedal indicators may blink continuously on the dashboard, completely blocking the engine from cranking.
While the code literally refers to an ECU safety flag, it is almost always triggered by an underlying component failure rather than a faulty computer itself. Common associations include:
The internal electric motor that pressurizes the brake fluid for ESP interventions experiences brush wear or commutator failure. Over time (typically 80,000–150,000 km), the motor draws excessive current or fails to start, triggering DTC060AF1.
A vehicle with this fault code will typically exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
Modern Renault vehicles run complex Engine Control Units (ECUs) that monitor inputs like pedal positions, air volume, and fuel pressure multiple times per second. If the ECU detects an anomaly where its primary processor and safety monitoring processor disagree on system calculations, it throws a software flag.
The sensor is an optical or inductive encoder inside the steering column module (called the or "Rotary Switch" ). Over time, internal electronics degrade, causing signal drift.
By addressing DTC060AF1 promptly, you restore your Renault’s safety systems and avoid the risk of an accident in poor weather conditions.
