P0606 - Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Internal Communication Error Description: P0606 indicates a register readback (PCM internal communications) error. Possible Causes:

• Damaged PCM.

Diagnostic Aids: Internal PCM failure. Install a new 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. Application Key On Engine Off Key On Engine Running Continuous Memory Vehicles With Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) The DTC is an indication of a failure mode in the electronic throttle control system, which includes the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor, electronic throttle body (ETB), and powertrain control module (PCM). It is accompanied by other DTCs which provide repair direction. Diagnose and repair those DTCS, and the P0606 will not be reset. All others Make sure to check for aftermarket performance products before installing a new powertrain control module (PCM). If it is necessary to install a new PCM, refer to Section 2, Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM).

Isnt good; the bad news is, this is an internal failure. Sometimes you can clear the code and it won't return. But most of the time you need to replace the PCM. Something inside the logic get garbled and throws that code.

Good news...the PCM is an emissions related component. I believe it is covered under warranty for 8 years or 80,000 miles. Check with your dealer. Just like catalytic converters and such.

P0601 - Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error
Basically that means that there is an interal fault in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). There have been many reported PCM failures on Chrysler/Dodge products although it is possible for this to happen on any vehicle. In Dodge/Chrysler products, a P0601 trouble code means that a serial communication failed inside the computer at least 6 times.

Likely, no symptoms will be discernible to the driver, other than the illuminated Check Engine Light. Typically the engine runs fine, gauges work, etc.

Causes: A code P0601 in most cases means the PCM has gone bad. This is possibly due to a short-circuit inside the PCM. Or, if you disconnect the wires/connector from the PCM while the battery is still connected, that may also cause this code.

Possible Solutions: With a P0601 OBD-II trouble code, the most common fix is to replace and reprogram the PCM. In a few cases the dealer may be able to reflash the PCM and get it working. But more than likely the PCM will need to be replaced and reprogrammed (we recommend you take it to a dealership for this). The good news is it *may* be covered under your emmissions warranty. So even if you're out of bumper-to-bumper warranty or powertrain warranty, check your warranty guide or dealer to see if this is covered.

Other people have reported that they cleared the code only for it to return again and again. Keep in mind that most shops can replace the PCM but not all can program it.

Hope this helps (remember to rating this answer and leave some testimonial comment).

P0700 - Transaxle Control System Fault Conditions
The P0700 code is for information only and the next step is to check for transaxle codes in the Transaxle Control Module (TCM). So you'll have to have the dealer or another qualified shop/technician pull the transaxle codes from the TCM and go from there.

Good luck!

the Powertrain Control Module is defective, nothing else will cause this code, you need a rebuilt PCM.

below is coped directly from Chrysler. sorry but if you have that code you need a PCM
