What is CID 1061 & How to Solve It?

What is CID 1061:

CID 1061 indicates a fault in the fuel injection timing control. The ECM detects that the fuel injection timing is off, leading to rough running or poor engine response.

‍

Why This Happens:

• Faulty timing control actuator.
  
• Clogged injectors or dirty fuel.
  
• Wiring or connector issues.
  
• ECM calibration fault.
  
• Timing sensor malfunction.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the timing control actuator for smooth movement.
   
2. Clean or replace clogged fuel injectors.
   
3. Check wiring and connectors for damage.
   
4. Reprogram the ECM if calibration errors exist.
   
5. Perform a timing verification test.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Use clean, high-quality fuel.
  
• Maintain injectors with periodic cleaning.
  
• Inspect timing sensors regularly.‍
