which vehicle which engine?
I think it is the S60 but the engine isn't specified and I would guess that it is a 2.4 non turbo.

Did it have an episode of low power or run out of fuel?
That code means the torque output of engine and the throttle opening, fueling, cam timing, and ignition advance all were not in line with the crankshaft acceleration.
If the car had an episode of low power for some reason then clear the code and keep driving.

Did not notice any driving issues, have not run out of fuel either but I do have another code ECM-640A (P0011). I think that is the CVVT solenoid gone bad?

OK, that could make the torque code show up.

Still getting the error, and it is the only code I have. Is it a transmission ECM?
Anyone?

Just a thought here.
Could an incorrectly installed timing belt cause this? like off a bit (there is no other fault codes)

yes, the 03 S60 has an exhaust CVVT gear, and if the t-belt is off one tooth it can trigger the code.

Did you recently replace the t-belt?

Not recently, but this code could have been there without me knowing as there is no engine light to indicate this particular issue. I will check into this when it warmes up outside.
