Limp mode & code #0606
Truck went into limp mode and the MIL light came on. Keyed the ignition and code # 0606 came up. ECM failure, internal fault. Let it set for 15 minutes and it took off and never recured. Will these ECMs do this a few times before they strand you or should I just replace it? 209,000 on the clock. Twogun

usually they quit all together
the electronics can develop whats called tin whiskers (thank you EPA ) from the lack of lead in the solder then it shorts them out or makes them start doing weird stuff keep an eye on it a new ECM is around $500 +-

I would be shopping for a good price on ECM
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0606-ECM FAILURE
When Monitored: Key on or Engine running.
Set Condition: Internal ECM error.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
ECM
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 Turn the ignition on.
NOTE: This DTC is caused by an internal Engine Control Module failure.
Repairs are not possible to the ECM.
Is the good trip counter equal to 0 for DTC P0606?
All
Yes ! Replace and program the ECM in accordance with the Service
Information.
No ! Test Complete.

cost!
Ecm without program list for $1195. Dealer wants list plus $120 to program. Mopar parts online is $865. Dealer service dept said they will install and program my part so looks like that's the path I'll take. Ouch! Twogun

I don't think you can buy new one anymore they are all remans. Did you pull the connectors off and make sure there is no water or corrosion there?
