P0606 — PCM Internal Processor Fault

P0606 is set when the engine control module's internal self-test detects an inconsistency in its own processor — typically a RAM test, ROM checksum, watchdog timeout, or processor brown-out. Unlike most OBD-II codes which point to an external sensor or actuator, P0606 is the PCM saying "something is wrong with me." The cause is usually a power or ground issue, water intrusion, or the PCM itself failing.
