P0606Internal fault in the control module processorUrgency high

Control Module Processor

The engine ECU monitors itself: it checks its memory and its processor every time it runs.

What the car has detected

The ECU has found a fault in its own processor or its internal calculations.

A failing ECU can make the engine stall or behave oddly. Have it checked as soon as possible and avoid long trips until then.

Symptoms

  • Engine warning light on
  • The engine stalls or will not start
  • Odd, intermittent faults

Possible causes

  • Faulty engine ECU
  • Poor ECU power supply or earth
  • Corrupted software or a botched remap

Checks for the garage

  • Check the battery and charging voltage
  • Check the engine computer's supply and earth points
  • Ask whether the maker has a software update

Next step

Ask for the ECU’s power supply and earths to be checked, and whether a software update exists, before it is replaced.

Go to a garage as soon as possible. If the car stalls while driving, stop in a safe place and call for assistance.
