This code is for an internal problem with the powertrain control module.(pcm)The PCM is located on the passengers side fender under the front.The plastic wheel well cover has to be removed to see it.This is a bad area and the pcm gets dirt,wet,and dust on it.There was a recall for installing a cover on it and you can check if your has one.This could be the problem with your vehicle and you might have to replace the pcm.Hope this helps.Good luck.

I have a 2001 pontiac sunfire the check engine light is on. when someone tried to reset it this code came up P1621 what does that mean?

A vehicle control module (VCM) or powertrain control modules' (PCM) electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) contains data essential to running the engine and transmission. The VCM/PCM stores critical preprogrammed data within the EEPROM, this data remains even if the vehicles' battery is disconnected. At power up the VCM/PCM checks the integrity of this data. If the checksum of the EEPROM does not match a predetermined value, DTC P1621 will set. The DTC will also set if the VCM/PCM is unable to correctly read or finds corrupt data from the EEPROM. GM recommends testing/replacement of the VCM/PCM using required equipment by a qualified technician for this type of VCM/PCM memory performance fault condition.

can you describe what the car is doing and after you scanned the code did you try to reset it?
