P0606 - Car Won’t Start - Diagnostic Tips! 

Hi mate. Love your stuff, have been off doing electronic work for decades and you are a great help.

Could the ECU change the polarity of one sensor?

DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK ALL YOUR HARNESS GROUNDS!!! Bad grounds can cause all sorts of electrical MADNESS!!

greatly preciated it this was very useful 👌👏

Very Professional video!

Excellent tutorial explained well,with a touch of humour, please continue posting Tim, perhaps very soon your channel will get 2 Billion subscribers, maybe even become the most 'Googled ' on the internet 🙂

What do you do when there's no crank on a diesel car

Hello every one, what Is the name of the sensor?

My car is running fine but it's throwing it while driving

For a toyota you dont have to send in the new or used ecu for a full rebood or flash. Hotwire the pin #4 and #13 of obd2 and let it sit with ignition switch on position and let it figure everything out for about 30 minutes. Remove the pin used to hotwire the obd2 and go ahead start the car and hope for the best.

You missed an important one: spark plugs. I found this out on another forum. It turns out the OEM spark plugs I thought were genuine turned out to be fakes. In just several months, my car lost power, went into limp mode, and threw this CEL code. It took me awhile to figure it out, but I bought genuine OEM plugs in the store, and my care is back to being good. I've also read that Honda's do not like non OEM plugs. Stick with OEM, and make sure they're genuine.

My car don't start and comes up with the code P060C 00. The car is an Audi Q5 TFSI 2020. Any ideas?

Excellent Videos!! we all learn a lot from you mate!...by the way what is a good scanner for Ford Territory 2004? Thanks Tim.

Made up I found your channel, great tips ! I recently sent my Mercedes Viano abs pump to a company to be repaired, they sent it back saying it’s beyond repair. Would you guys be able to rebuild it? Cheers 👍

I'll try this question here, haven't found an answer yet. I permanently connected my dashcam to the battery for continuous recording. I am no electrics/electronics beginner. With the camera screen turned off, the current drawn in total from the 60 Ah battery is very low, tens of milliamps, maybe less, I can't remember exactly, but I did the math. By my calculations, this means the battery should last at least 2 weeks like this, if not more. I understand that you can't go to 0% charge, as you still need a lot of juice to be left for the engine to start, but I don't understand having the battery die after 2 days with such a low load. If I leave my car parked for more than a day, dead battery, around 10.something V. I can barely start the engine, sometimes I need to push the car to get it going. Battery voltage is perfect, stays at about 12.9 after a longer drive, starts the engine in a fraction of a second, no issues whatsoever without the dashcam plugged in when parked. Plug in the dashcam, the battery dies like crazy. Something doesn't add up there for me... and I can't yet understand why this happens. Again, without the dashcam, the battery is just fine. Maybe it shows some lack of charge after a full week of only 5 minute drives, but nothing worse than that, and voltage stays over 12.6 at all times. Without the dashcam connected when parked...

hi i have a 2009 ford fiesta 1.6 tdci,i was driving it last week with no problems,then out of the blue a cog light came on which i have been told is the pcm light,the car died and wouldnt start for around 5 mins,eventually got it running and got it home,a friend plugged it in and a p0698 code came up,he said it was throttle pedal,so replaced that also put a new fuel filter after a day or 2 same thing happend,it wouldnt start so i put a forscan on it turned the pcm light off and it started,after 2 hours cut out again so i unplugged egr and it run fine for 2 days then the light came on again even with the egr unplugged,it has no problem starting but once that pcm light comes on the car will not start until i plug forscan into it and clear the p0698 code,is there anyone out there who can help it says sensor reference voltage c circuit low additional fault symptom circuit voltage below threshold......thanks in advance,jon

Hello - I have watched so many of your videos as no one else on RU-vid or the net seems to understand a specific issue I have faced for 3 weeks now. P0606 ECM code on a K12 Micra DCI. Any ideas where to start, I checked most of the wires to the ECM but I dnt want to strip all the looms to look for shorts. Do you think a faulty sensor like the crank or cam will trigger the code or its a genuine short somewhere that I must look really hard to find. Trying to narrow the issue down. Greetings from South Africa

Hi, I have a 2007 cls550 and my snap on spit the P0606 code, saying control module has an internal error. Any help ?or suggestions ?

...5:28 ...should be kohms... Otherwise excellent video 👏 😉

My car has the autostop and it did the autostop at a light and didn’t come back on and the p06060 code came on but then went off and I drove fine 2 days after should I still take it into the shop?

So I have the p0606 code but it only comes on when I try to start my car and it also won’t start without a jump

Good🔥🔥🔥🔥

our mind master knowledge thank you .

Hi thx for the vids! I have a P0606 code on my veloster and my obd2 is saying the ECM voltage is 10.2 and does that mean i just need to check for too high resistance in the fuses or the computer?

On a d Fiesta 1.4tdci i have too many codes P0606, P0366,P0191,P0626 and P0563. It is possible ECU damage, harness ....anybody with something ells idea?

You did not mention check for Alternators.

Would that be the problem with my 2018 Jeep compass. The dealership won’t help because I went over my mileage and warranty ended. My problem is that when they put the reader it won’t connect and won’t get any reading back. It’s not the batteries already checked that. I need my inspection sticker but can’t because of this.

Здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста куда копать с такой ошибкой P0606 ECM/PCM processor. Last occurrence-plaust sibility

What sensor is in the diagram at the 4:12 mark? I need to know bc my 2004 Envoy XUV shut off in traffic and won't start.

P06A8 FORD Code - Sensor Reference Voltage 'C' Circuit Range/Performance what does this mean boss

Good job master idol😊😊😊

Hi !!!!! An ECU that I purchased preprogrammed had that same fault code that you explained and all the info that I researched on it, said that it is an internal fault; the engine light stayed on permanently, but the engine started and ran and I even drove it around without any problems. I returned it and it is now repaired. I would still like to get my other ECU repaired some time to hold as a spare.

1997 powerstroke p0606 . after a long run and good and warm. If the truck is turned off it wont restart. If i disconnect the batteries then reconnect it will start and run fine until turned off again. If it sets overnight it still will not restart until the battery trick .

is the p06b8 the same code? i have a mk 3 st and it threw this code but same description

I have toyota corolla and i have 😊😊code number p0607, can I have the same symptoms?

Hi, I have a 2013 ford focus. It’s coming up with a po606 code. I’ve had a new battery put and driving fine for about 3 miles then the transmission fault came up again. When driving it the revs go up to 3000 and struggle,s to get up to the next gear. When I had the battery changed it was working fine. It’s a 1.6 auto, if it does need a new ECU how much will it cost to fix?

very good job, excellent explanation

What would be considered bad resistance while testing the fuse?

Hi p060c tiguan 2020

I have p0607 😊

This is the way

Good presentation

Hi what is a c1226 code on Astra Gtc j 14 plate pls

Tank you sir

Hi I have a serious problem with my 2013 prius p0606 the car drives fine and sometimes gets crazy with no power stops with all waring lights, whats the name of the sensor You are checking on the video ? thks

THANKS

Can bad throttbody acuator cause tht code to

Hello Sir Code No. P1A00: ?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤

This was a very informative video. I have a 2011 ram 2500 Turbo diesel and the P0606 code has come up on my truck

Yes.. Awesome content. And perfect for the (new age) Modern day modifier DIY’er. And owning a R56 MCS , knowing how to do simple tests as you’ve shown on here is a BLESSING! Thank you all for this .. 😁

I have a P0601 does the instructions in this video imply to that code as well? Am working on a diesel, like you mentioned in the vid. Also thank you for the video, love the animations and explanations, so easy to follow along

What cencor are you talking about? There are many cencors in a car
