posting for a friend at work

he's getting a PO601 code. some sort of Internal PCM Fault. google says replace the PCM. what are the chances of this code coming right back after a new PCM? it drives completely normal and doesn't show any symptoms other than the light on the dash, but he needs to pass inspection eventually.

any ideas?

Quote :

"Basically that means that there is an interal fault in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). There have been many reported PCM failures on Chrysler/Dodge products although it is possible for this to happen on any vehicle. In Dodge/Chrysler products, a P0601 trouble code means that a serial communication failed inside the computer at least 6 times. "
