2004 Ford Focus 2.0 SOHC. What is the fix for P0606 and P0303 codes please?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

The P0606 fault code means that there's an error with your power control module (PCM). Your PCM is the computer inside your car that monitors all the vital systems. Basically, it's the brain of your car. Every time you start the car, the PCM runs a series of checks to make sure everything is okay.

How to Fix the P0606 Fault Code - Solo Auto Electronics


What the P0303 code means. The P0303 DTC is set when the ECU detects multiple misfires from cylinder 3. Misfires cause the ECU to set the Check Engine Light and put the vehicle into a failsafe mode to prevent damage. The Check Engine Light will remain until the code is repaired.

How do I clear a code p0606 on a kubota mx5200

You have to fix the issue first, and then you clear the code using and OBD11 scanner.

P0629 means there is an issue with the "A" control circuit in the fuel pump often due too bad connectors/wires or a defective CAN bus

P0627 - Fuel Pump 'A' Control Circuit/Open

Possible causes

- Faulty Fuel Pump
- Fuel pump harness is open or shorted
- Fuel pump circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Fuel Pump Relay
- Faulty fuel pump control module (if applicable)

P0606 OBD-II Trouble Code: PCM Processor Fault

What the P0606 code means

The Powertrain Control Module is sometimes referred to as the Power Control Module, or the Engine Control Module (ECM); all of these names mean the same thing. The PCM is responsible for monitoring every aspect of the vehicle's engine and electrical system.

When the vehicle is started up, the PCM will perform a self-check to make sure that all of the engine's components are operating properly. If the result of this self-check indicates that there is a processor fault in the the PCM, it will store the P0606 diagnostic trouble code.

What causes the P0606 code?
•PCM wires that are broken, corroded, and/or frayed
•PCM connectors that are broken, corroded, and/or frayed
•Faulty PCM ground circuits and/or output devices
•Faulty Controller Area Network (CAN) bus communication

My Pontiac vibe 2006 is showing PO6006, PO6007 code does anyone ha be any idea what it means

P0606 , P0607 ! no such codes P06006 or P06007
DTC P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0605, P0606, P0607, P1600, P1621, P1627, P1680, P1681, P1683, or P2610
DTC P0606 Control Module Internal Performance
The DTC P0606 and P2610 set when the powertrain control module (PCM) has determined that the control module has an internal fault. The PCM performs continuous self checks of all internal circuits. There are 2 central processing units (CPU) within the control module. If the outputs from the two CPUs deviates from the standard level, a DTC P0606 sets. The control module has several internal clock or timer circuits. The DTC P2610 diagnostic monitors the internal timer circuit responsible for the ignition OFF operation of the evaporative emission (EVAP) system vacuum leak pump. If the there is an error in the control module timer, a DTC P2610 sets.

P0606 code on 2003 Saturn Vue AWD 2.2l check engine light on

Hi there:
P0606 is a internal computer fault. Sometimes extreme hot or cold weather will screw up a computer.




P0606 - PCM / ECM Processor Fault
This code is a fairly simple one. It basically means that the PCM/ECM (powertrain/engine control module) has detected an internal integrity fault in the PCM. When this code is activated it should store freeze-frame data that helps someone with an advanced code scanning tool to get information on exactly what was going on with the vehicle when the P0606 code was triggered.



Most likely the only symptom of a P0606 DTC code is the illumination of the "Check Engine Light" a.k.a. MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp).



Cause: In all likelyhood the PCM / ECM has failed.


Possible Solutions: As a vehicle owner there is little you can do to fix this code. The most common fix for a P0606 code is to replace the PCM, although in some cases re-flashing the PCM with updated software could possibly fix this. Be sure to check for TSB's on your vehicle (Technical Service Bulletins).


In all likelyhood the fix is to replace the PCM. This is generally not a "do-it-yourself" task, although in some cases it may be. We strongly recommend you have a qualified repair shop / technician do the work, one that has the capability to reprogram the new PCM. Installing the new PCM may involve using special tools to program the vehicle's VIN (vehicle identification number) and/or anti-theft information (PATS, etc.).


NOTE: This repair may be covered under the emissions warranty so be sure to check with your dealer as this may be covered beyond the bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranty period.


Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

I need the reason for the ecu error codes for a 2001 firebird 3.8L code #01 P0601,#02 P0606,#3 P1518

P0601 means your engine computer has an internal error; P0606 means that the engine computer has stored in memory exactly the running condition( much like a "black box") that the vehicle was in when the P0606 was triggered. P1518 also relates to the PCM in the matter of low voltage.

Try testing the battery as improper voltage can cause all of these codes. Otherwise it means that your PCM has failed and either needs to be reprogrammed or replaced.

I have a 2004 GMS Envoy xl that is putting out the codes P0136 (twice) and then P0606. What do they mean?

P0136 - O2 sensor malfunction, Bank 1 sensor 2." Drivers side exhaust down pipe after the Catalytic converter O2 sensor needs to be replaced."

P0606 - Control Module Internal Performance " Internal PCM failure." Replace the PCM.
For Electronic Throttle Control applications, an internal PCM failure, or an ETC system FMEM condition exists. Repairing the other DTCs can fix the P0606.

Good luck and hope this helps, keep me posted. Be glad to know you got your GMC running 100% again.
