What C062D means
C062D means the ABS valve group does not work as expected, although no single valve or plain supply fault explains it. Mitsubishi is the one maker that maps it publicly: in the 2023 Outlander PHEV brake unit, valve relay code C1048-92 shows as C062D, set within 2 s with normal supply and the system switched on, with ASC, ABS, brake lamp and MIL after one trip; bulletin 23-35-002 adds C1048-01 to the same number. Stability, traction, ABS, EBD, brake assist, hill start and electric parking brake functions are then suspended. Brake units check valves and relay with test pulses: a Tokico patent tells relay, switch and coil faults apart with a tiny test current, and MOTOR describes key-on pulse tests lasting about 65 ms.
C062D at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testNot an emissions code
- Limp modePossible
- Repair difficultyHard
- Typical labor0.3 to 4 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of C062D
- ABS, stability control and brake warning lamps on
- Check engine lamp on (Mitsubishi)
- ABS, traction control and electric parking brake unavailable
Common causes of C062D
- Most likelyInternal fault in the ABS control unit or its valve relay
- PossibleWeak supply through fuse, fusible link, wiring or 12 V battery
- PossibleCorroded or loose connector at the hydraulic unit
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of C062D means
| C | Chassis system: brakes, ABS, steering and suspension. |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 2D | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note C062D and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about C062D
What does C062D mean?
C062D means "ABS Valves Range/Performance". C062D means the ABS valve group does not work as expected, although no single valve or plain supply fault explains it. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with C062D?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With C062D the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will C062D fail an emissions test?
C062D is not an emissions code, so on its own it usually does not fail an emissions test. Other stored codes or a lit check engine light still can.
How hard is C062D to fix?
Difficulty: hard. A typical repair takes 0.3 to 4 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will C062D clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
