Possible Solutions

But more than likely the PCM will need to be replaced and reprogrammed (we recommend you take it to a dealership for this). The good news is it *may* be covered under your emmissions warranty. So even if you’re out of bumper-to-bumper warranty or powertrain warranty, check your warranty guide or dealer to see if this is covered. Other people have reported that they cleared the code only for it to return again and again. Keep in mind that most shops can replace the PCM but not all can program it.
