- Engine or fuel modification that exceeds OEM specifications
How do I fix code P0606 RAM?
Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins.
Tech Notes
- Check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) fuse, if the fuse is OK, try erasing the code first and if the code comes back you may have to reprogram or replace the PCM.
Cost of diagnosing the P0606 RAM code
The cost of diagnosing the P0606 RAM code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.

P0606 RAM Description
This fault code is triggered when the internal Powertrain Control Module (PCM) diagnostics detect a read or write error internal to the module. The PCM illuminates the MIL light immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails. The PCM will turn off the MIL light immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes. This fault code can only be caused by an internal PCM problem and may prevent the engine from starting.
