Car was scanned and this was the result...
16985 - Internal Control Module: Memory Check Sum Error
P0601 - 001 - Upper Limit Exceeded - MIL ON
Can't find a clear answer on this, I was told I need a new ECU....can this be right? Or can I just get a re-flash?
My r is throwing a p0601 sum error. I clear, it comes right back. I know the previous owner has it chipped at a garage that wasn't linked to any brand. I was planning on putting an apr/giac tune over it but now I can't (no money). I know this might mean I need a new ecu. Right now I plan on going to vw on monday and having them reflash the ecu bringing it back to stock...if it returns then i guess i need a new ecu... This sound right?
View 5 RepliesJust stopped by the dealer to check on some parts, went to start the car, and this happened. Also smells rich as hell. Did I just drop the ECU code?
View 24 RepliesI have a 2002 GTI 337. I'm getting a P0601 code with the CEL light on.That code says "internal control module memory check sum error".
View 7 RepliesJust got off work about 2 minutes had to stop & it stalled. I let it sit for 5 & it started up with a fault code P0601 (Internal control module - Memory check sum error)? How to proceed for repair?
View 6 RepliesMy mechanic has diagnosed a trouble code P0601 (Internal Control Memory Fault) on my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan. He and I feel the car is running fine. Do I need to get the PCM replaced (as I've been reading online) or can I drive it as is? We don't have emissions checks.
View 4 RepliesSo I get back from being stationed in Korea for the past 2 years. I get my car out of storage and the check engine light is on. I scan it and get P0601. I do some searching on the Tex and see that it's the ecu. I'm tuned on APR. the question is can I take it to a local APR dealer here in Houston and get the ecu looked at?
View 6 RepliesMy CEL is on and the code is a p2181 (cooling system performance). My car isn't overheating or taking too long too warm up, so I'm guessing its not a bad thermostat or water pump. I want to replace the ECT sensor, but I haven't found any instructions for doing this on the 2.0TSI engine. Aren't there 2 ECT sensors? One on the lower radiator hose and one on the thermostat/water pump housing.
Lower radiator hose ECT sensor: [URL] .....
Thermostat/water pump housing ECT sensor: [URL] ....
Which one do I need to replace? The radiator hose ECT sensor seems easy enough to access, but I'm not sure what needs to be removed to replace the sensor on the thermostat housing?
I noticed that the temperature isn't always sitting at 190. It will drop slightly below on occasion for short periods of time. Could this actually be a thermostat issue?
I just bought this car. 41k miles now and I got a solid MIL. How do you check for the code. it idles fine. I read if it's blinking don't drive it.
View 4 RepliesCEL came on yesterday and pulled P2181 which looks like it could be a bunch of different things. Taking it to the shop tomorrow morning so any guesses? BTW I would attempt the easy things first but it is my daily so.....
View 8 RepliesWant to get rid of the drl code lit up on my dash... My mechanic said i would have to get some resistors from the local store... Is this true or not ?
View 14 RepliesSo I just bought a stage 4 vf supercharged R, the previous owner dumped it due to a pesky cel. The code is P0140, it has had new O2 put in, the wiring has been checked and is good. Could it be the giac tune?
View 2 RepliesI recently replaced my MAF on the car with part number 06A 906 461 A which is not the 07D 906 461 part number. I take it that this is wrong because i am getting power surging in the car at WOT and I have a pending DTC code P0103.

P3255 - 001 - Upper Limit Exceeded - MIL ON
Code only comes when car is cold ,when erase it doesn't come back until i shut it off and let it cool than after a restart it come s back .
I am getting a CEL and the error code is p2187 engine too lean at idle. I have been reading around to try and find the issue, some seem to say PCV could be the issue. I have also read a test would be try and remove the oil cap while car is idling. I did this test and the oil cap was difficult to remove and the idle got really rough once removed.
View 2 RepliesI picked up a 03 Jetta TDI about a month ago to use as a daily driver so I could park my Jeep. This is my first diesel so still getting used to some of the quirks and what is normal and what is not.
First problem is a CEL with the code P0401 - Exhaust gas recirculation flow insufficient detected. Now there seems to be a lot of information online about this and how to fix it and everything has something different to say. I live in a cold climate, its already -2 and going to get to -20 - -30 at some points so I'm not looking to to a EGR delete as my understanding is that it takes longer to heat up?
Next, being my first diesel, I'm used to turning heat on and driving for a minute and having heat. Not so much in the Jetta. It can idle for 20 minutes before I head out the door and its throwing warm air but the engine temp is a dead 0. Not until I get on the highway and drive for another 15 min do I actually start getting close to operating temp. Being its only about 0 celsius at the moment...
Other trouble spot is the steering, considering this thing weights next to nothing and has tiny wheels, it is about 4x harder to turn the wheel then it is in the Jeep on 35's. I also seem to get this shrieking/whining from the engine bay about 5-10% of the time when moving the steering wheel and the vehicle is under 5 km/h.
So i recently upgraded to a apr k04 from a apr stage2 tune and I'm getting a P0101 CEL. I've triple checked all my piping, and sensors, everything is nice and tight. I did however install the turbo with a GFB DV+ using the spring. Do you guys think the fact that the spring in the DV+ holds an amount air in the intercooler that it's throwing off the readings with the MAP and causing that CEL? I was going to give it a week or so and maybe see if the ECU can adjust itself enough to the DV+ and hopefully solve the problem. If not then i guess ill check for more leaks, but i doubt there is any. Boost holds real good throughout the whole rpm range...

View 1 RepliesSo here's the backstory, Couple of months ago I Cold started my Car. During the fast idle the car started to misfire, but no flashing check engine light. then after the cycle, it smoothed out and was fine. Now it's happened maybe 3 or 4 times since then. So Today it hasn't done it but I decided to Scan it and check the OBD codes.
As I sit right now I'm APR Stage 2, I'm in the process of going K04, just waiting on the turbo to come in. Now the too high of fuel pressure one I've had for a while. I was told it was a software thing nothing to worry about. But the P2293 Code has me stumped. I've had the HPFP Fail at 16k miles so I know what the symptoms are. I also replaced the follower at the same time when I did the HPFP. Now the thing that has me stumped is, The car is running fine. No issues what so ever. No problems with fuel cuts or anything. Is it possible that the Pump is going on its way out? Or am I just paranoid?
My girlfriend's MkV Jetta 2.0T is throwing a code for misfires in Cylinders 1 and 2. I've already switched out the plugs and coilpacks with no change. I'm going to try re-positioning the coilpacks to see if the code follows. In doing some research, someone mentioned that it could be fouling on the injectors, which led me to BG44K. She has >215K miles. I figure she's gotta have some fouling that could be cleaned up. I have ~110K miles on my R32 - I figure it wouldn't hurt to do some cleaning in my own car.
View 4 RepliesI was driving back from NH this morning. and for some reason my ESP & ABS lights came on. I pulled over and threw the VAG on it and received the code: "00283 - Left Front ABS Wheel Speed Sensor G47". When I got home, I took the wheel off and there it was: the wire that hooks onto the right side of the shock was off it's mount, and I noticed a nice scrape on it, exposing some of the copper wiring. I'm not sure how this wire came unhooked, but obviously this explains the codes/warnings being thrown. I checked ECS, but I couldn't find one that matched. Or, is there any way of repairing these wires (through stripping & reconnecting)?
