Actually it should have said:

P PCU
P Done
P ECU
P Done

(or the other way around, I can never remember if it does the PCM or the ECM first)

No codes, if there were, they would have flashed after the PCU but before Done, then after the ECU but before Done.

If sometime down the road you see a P-1693 and nothing else, it means you have a code but it isn't readable by the key on/off method, it needs to be scanned by the DRB Scantool at the Dodge Dealership.
