OBD-II DTC Technical Description

What does that mean?
This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code, which means that it applies to OBD-II equipped vehicles. Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model.
This code basically means that the programminging the PCM/ECM (powertrain/engine control module) has failed. This can be a more serious code and may also be refered to as "ECM Internal Circuit Malfunction".
Symptoms

Possible Solutions
As a vehicle owner there isn’t a whole lot you can do yourself to diagnose this DTC. The first thing to check is the battery, check the voltage, inspect for loose/corroded terminals, etc., do a load test on it too. Also inspect the grounds/wiring at the PCM. If that’s good the other common fixes for a P0607 Control Module Performanc e DTC seem to be either replace the PCM or update (re-flash) the PCM with updated software. Be sure to check for TSB’s on your vehicle (Technical Service Bulletins) as there are known TSB’s for this P0607 code for some Toyota and Ford vehicles.
If the PCM needs replacement, we strongly recommend you have a qualified repair shop / technician do the work, one that has the capability to reprogram the new PCM. Installing the new PCM may involve using special tools to program the vehicle’s VIN (vehicle identification number) and/or anti-theft information (PATS, etc.).
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.

"Delete Error Code Permanently, Disable DTC Error Code Function for p0607 in the ECU"
In extreme cases, we even have the option to permanently remove the specific DTC p0607 and disable the function of the specific error code in the ECU. All other fault code functions will then continue to work to protect the engine. This is different from clearing an error code with a diagnostic device. We have the option to permanently remove the function of the specific error code, so that it never comes back. Also emergency running that occurs on the specific error code can be solved in most cases.
Of course we prefer to first try to solve the cause of the error code, but sometimes the only solution is to permanently disable the DTC function of p0607.
