I have a 2001 Dodge Maxi Van with 72k miles on the 5.9 engine. My check engine light is on, and the only code stored is P0601, which indicates a PCM failure. The engine seems to run normally, transmission shifts normally, etc. I've erased the code a few times by disconnecting battery power, but the code always comes back after just a couple minutes of run time.
This vehicle is normally driven around town, so I've just put repair on hold, but we are now planning a longer trip (Florida to Colorado and return). Is this going to cause a problem on the road? Funds are llimited and I'd prefer to put off the repair if possible.
Any recommendations?
Thanks, Mark
