This trouble code basically means that the PCM/ECM (powertrain/engine control module) has detected an internal control module fault in the ROM (read only memory) in the PCM. The PCM is basically the vehicle's "electronic brain" that controls functions such as fuel injection, ignition, etc. When self-checks fail in the ROM, this DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is set.

  • There is an internal fault in the PCM / ECM
  • Using an aftermarket performance programmer may trigger this code
  • In some cases, "flashing" the PCM with an updated software can fix this DTC. You will need access to make & model specific information such as Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs).
    If there are no PCM flash updates, the next step would be to check some wiring. Inspect and check for proper voltage and ground to the PCM and throughout the associated circuits. If there are problems with them, repair and retest.
    If the wiring checks out OK, the next step is to replace the PCM, which is the most likely repair for this code. 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.).

      Good point. But reflashing is about $200 at dealerships. If the PCM is dead, it still costs you. Any p06xx codes. I toss the computer. Plus tell them any after market performance or remote start/security has to be removed.

    An internal computer problem. Read only memory. This is the factory defaults. These can't be erased by a tech. But can be by a system fault. You can get the computer online for about $160. Plug and play. Dealers 2 to 3 times this.

    Check engine light stays on - 2003 jeep liberty sport - 87,000 miles

    Dear Madam or Sir,

    If the "Check Engine Light" comes up, the on board diagnosis system of your vehicle has detected an error with the petrol injection system, a faulty sensor, stuck servo motor etc. for example.

    The light indicates the recognition and storage of an digital trouble code to the system´s memory to the driver. You should see a mechanic to check the ECU (engine control unit) for saved trouble codes.

    Please don´t hesitate too long to prevent the engine from serious damage.


    Kind regards from Germany

    If your engine light came on, the engine module could have stored a code.
    You need to have a scanner to check what code it is and that will point you toward the solution.
    Possible causes could be (crank sensor, tps sensor or oxygen sensor).
    Don't go replacing parts until you scan the vehicle for codes first.
