How the car detects it

P0606 is the standard 'control module processor' code. On the DPS6 PowerShift gearbox, Ford's updated software uses it in the transmission computer (TCM) to flag an internal TCM failure. Ford bulletin 16-0129 replaces the TCM when P0606, U0100, U0101 or U1013 are stored, after first fixing any low-voltage problem, then reprograms it and runs the clutch adaptive learning.
