What does p0606 mean on a PCM?
P0606 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “PCM Processor Fault”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.
What is the diagnostic trouble code for PCM processor fault?
P0606 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “PCM Processor Fault”.
What should I do if my PCM fails?
In all likelyhood the PCM / ECM has failed. 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.
When to use the p0606 malfunction indicator lamp?
If the PCM detects a voltage supply malfunction, a system ground deficiency, or an internal processor error, a code P0606 will be stored and a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may be illuminated. Depending upon the perceived severity of the malfunction, multiple ignition cycles (with a malfunction) may be necessary for MIL illumination.

What does trouble code stand for in ECM?
This particular trouble code stand for ” ECM Processor Fault” it is a non-specific trouble code that indicates that the ECM ” engine control module ” is not performing as it should and it is not receiving the required data from the other control units.

What does code p0606-check engine light mean?
An oft misdiagnosed check engine light on a wide range of Toyota, Lexus and Scions is code P0606- ECM/PCM Processor Malfunction. More often than not, the culprit is NOT the ECM/PCM assembly but rather the sensing or heater circuits in the air/fuel ratio or oxygen sensors. We went more into diagnosing a failed air/fuel ratio sensor in this post .
What is code p0606 on 2008 Grand Prix?
IF a pre-programmed ECM/PCM is available for your vehicle the parts supplier will advise you of the exact information required. 2008 Grand Prix 3.8l ignition interlock issues? Code P0606 is for TAC (throttle actuator control). The flow chart seems to want to reprogram before PCM replacement.
What does p0606 mean in engine control module?
I have found that when a code P0606 is stored, it means that the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a processor malfunction.
Is there a warranty on a p0606 PCM?
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. Other PCM DTC codes: P0600, P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0605, P0607, P0608, P0609, P0610.
What to do if powertrain control module code comes back?
Check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) fuse, if the fuse is OK, try erasing the code first and if the code comes back you may have to reprogram or replace the PCM. The cost to diagnose the P0606 code is 1.0 hour of labor.
If the PCM detects a voltage supply malfunction, a system ground deficiency, or an internal processor error, a code P0606 will be stored and a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may be illuminated. Depending upon the perceived severity of the malfunction, multiple ignition cycles (with a malfunction) may be necessary for MIL illumination.
