0600...i think that was it, my CEL was on.

 

That codes is for Serial Communication Link Malfunction.


It didn't have a subsequent code error, like 601 or anything?

 

that like speaking ALIEN to me....

 

What exactly does that code mean?

 

I think he means, was there any other code. The code that you threw probably is a certain series of codes/problems. There should be another code that contains further details.

 

Was it P0601 P0602 P0603?

This is probably a problem with the PCM. Hopefully they'll replace that for free as a part of the transmission, but it seems like someone else had the PCM go bad recently and it was something like $900 and Acura wouldn't do anything for him.

 

what is PCM, what does it do??

 

Powertrain Control Module... or more commonly known as the ECU.

I was asking if there was another code with the P0600, because I think it indicates where the communication link failure happened. The PCM communicates with many different parts of the diagnostics system, and if there's a communication failure, it should say where that happened.

 

I just checked with a friend.

The code indicates an external problem. In other words, there's a OBDII port communication failure with the scanner. It could be a bad scanner, bad connection, or something else.

It reminds me last time I had an O2 sensor failure, I hooked up a scanner to the port and it had an error. I simply tried again, and it went through. So give it another try. If it still doesn't work, then try a different scanner.

Good luck, and sorry about the misinformation above.

 

thanx alot
