It is extremely rare for the engine computer to fail, but this is what that code indicates. It needs to be reprogrammed or replaced. ---

P0601=Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error. This means the PCM needs to be replaced and programmed. No other choice. But! You may fall under the EPA mandated warranty of 8 years/80,000 miles on computers and catalytic converters. Does your vehicle have less than 80,000 miles? Tester ---
