Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 GMC Yukon XL, 2004 GMC Yukon, 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2004 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A requested torque signal malfunction is only one possible cause for setting this DTC. DTC C0240 may set due to engine overheating, throttle actuator control failure, loss of ignition timing control by the PCM, etc. If DTC P0856 has not set, refer to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls in Engine Controls - 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L in order to identify other possible causes of DTC C0240.
