What it means

P063E is a generic code meaning the engine control unit's automatic configuration routine expected a throttle-related input and did not detect it. The wording 'Bank 1' suggests it relates to the first engine bank or the primary throttle circuit. The exact input checked and the strategy used vary by manufacturer and engine, so check the vehicle-specific data.

Symptoms

Engine warning light on
Reduced power or limp-home mode
Poor or delayed throttle response
Unstable or raised idle
Engine may not start, or stalls after starting
Other throttle or pedal codes stored alongside

How to diagnose

Read all stored and pending codes and freeze frame data, noting any other throttle, pedal or sensor supply codes.
Visually inspect the throttle body connector, wiring loom and earths for damage, water ingress, corrosion or rubbing.
Check the battery condition and charging voltage, as low voltage can upset configuration routines.
With live data, compare throttle position and accelerator pedal readings with the pedal at rest and fully pressed, and look for missing or frozen values.
Check the sensor reference voltage, signal and ground at the throttle body connector against the manufacturer's specification.
Test the wiring for continuity and shorts between the connector and the control unit, with the battery disconnected as appropriate.
Check for recent work such as throttle body replacement, cleaning or battery disconnection, and whether a relearn was done.
Check for relevant manufacturer software updates or bulletins for the model and engine.

How to fix

Repair or replace damaged wiring, terminals or connectors in the throttle circuit.
Replace the throttle body if its sensor or motor is proven faulty.
Replace the accelerator pedal assembly if its sensor readings are faulty.
Correct any supply voltage or ground fault found, then clear the codes.
Carry out the throttle adaptation or relearn procedure specified for the vehicle.
Update the control unit software if a fault in the existing calibration is confirmed as the cause.

Can I keep driving?

Medium severity

The car may enter limp-home mode with reduced power, which can be unsafe when overtaking or pulling out of junctions. Limit driving to getting it to a workshop soon, and stop if the engine stalls or throttle response becomes unpredictable.
