need help p0601 2000 dakota v6

i have ni\o idea what this is or how to fix it... says int something check sum error? what?!

sounds like a bad PCM to me.

EDIT: Try resetting the PCM and see if it goes away. If not looks lie you might be buying a new PCM.

reset it yesterday, came back today.....

i want to try to unplug the pcm, and plug it back in? is that cool?

what about the battery? i am currently using a scanner rented from autozone.....

ive been looking around on goole, and everyone says pcm fried time for a new one... eek!!!!!!



is it possible it got fried while changing sparkplugs? my father in law has done his plugs and wires several times and thinks he may have an issue... the engine runs a little rough and he thinks that he has a plug that came out or a broken wire? could a bad pcm do this? is it possible he freid it? he has tried disconnecting the battery several times to fix it, and i am not sure if this is what hurt it or not. it is the only code showing
