Default ETC light goes on and idles rough when fully warmed up

hey guys
i have 2003 ram 1500
it idles rough and shows the etc light. I changed the throttle body and map sensor no change...i changed the pcm about 2 months ago because of a faulty coil...i checked for shorts and found out i had a short in the radio/door wiring. would that short have caused the etc light or possibly fried the pcm ? what else can i look for?
i almost forgot the important...got codes 1618 and 2106

thanks for any tips

Use the search feature of this forum to find other members' solutions.
Most of the ones I have read were caused by intermittent wiring shorts to ground.
