As a vehicle owner there is little you can do to fix this code.

Be sure to check for TSB’s on your vehicle (Technical Service Bulletins). In all likelyhood the fix is to replace the PCM. This is generally not a “do-it-yourself” task, although in some cases it may be. We strongly recommend you have a qualified repair shop / technician do the work, one that has the capability to reprogram the new PCM. Installing the new PCM may involve using special tools to program the vehicle’s VIN (vehicle identification number) and/or anti-theft information (PATS, etc.).
