A week ago my truck was surging so I checked the codes and got 0606 ECM failure. I parked the truck until today when I was going to take it to the dealer. About 5 miles down the road the engine light came on and had no throttle response. I pulled over and checked the codes and got:
0118, 0113, 0577, 0343, 1475, 1286, 0123 and 0606. The ones I could look up relate to various voltages.
Any ideas? The fuel pressure was good but I have had to put 4 lift pumps in, a VP-44, vacuum pump seal, 3-4 gear syncros, and the truck has 75000 miles on it. Anyone know what the lemon laws are? I love the truck when it runs but over the last 4 years I have been scared to drive it. I don't abuse it. My dad has an 01 with 90,000 on it and absolutely no problems. What gives??!!

 

I had it towed to the dealer who has been trying to diagnose it and now they can't get it started at all. So they are replacing the ECM first, which won't be in until Thursday. This sucks! Has anyone got any suggestions about getting DC to get you a new truck for a good deal. I would feel guilty selling it to a private party knowing it has had all of these problems.

 

Okay, ready for this? The dealer replaced the ecm and said that was what was wrong with it but the one they put in is somehow bad. They said they ordered a new one and it will be here Tuesday, and I could drive the truck but they would still have to replace the "new" ecm AGAIN. What!!!!?????
Can anyone shed light on this, is my truck posessed???

 

I have no clue what the lemon law is but you could do a search to find out. I would be scared to drive the truck also. Sorry to hear of your luck.

 

I checked and the way I read it the statute of limitations is 1 year or the duration of the warranty whichever is less. The problem is that I didn't start having problems until the truck was over 1 year old. It's frustrating because I am not looking for a handout I just want what is fair.

 

Well after putting 2 new ecm's in my pickup (at dealers expense thank god) I have put on a grand total of 145 miles when the check engine light came on. I checked the codes and got 0122 and 1690 I did a search here and couldn't find out what those codes mean. Any ideas.

 

P0122: Throttle Position Sensor Voltage too low

P1690: CKP Sensor Does not agree with ECM CKP sensor

 

What does that mean exactly, the truck seems to drive normal?

 

More precisely,
P1690 Fuel injection pump CKP Sensor Does Not Agree With ECM CKP Sensor

Means the ECM is seeing the engine turning so many times, but the VP44 is seeing it turning a different amount.

Either your VP44 is having problems, or the Crank/Cam sensor is.

Could it be there is something else screwed up that is messing up ecm's. I thought those things just don't go bad and to get one bad that was brand new??? VP44 is only 6000 miles old. I am stumped. I guess I will drive it to dealer next week.
