P0603 keep alive Memory error

so this morning when I started my truck for the first time of the day, I noticed a pretty large puff of white smoke come out. Later this evening I scanned the truck with TP and it had a P0603 error. Is this from the atlas tune in my FICM?

I also noticed my dgas bottle was a little low as well (which was full a couple weeks back. The truck had studs and egr delete done about 11k miles ago. I do tow heavy daily, and it’s been very hot lately. Haven’t seen any signs of coolant coming out of dgas or anywhere else tho.

Thoughts?

Has me a little worried since we’re heading out on a family vacation in a little over a day and taking the truck so we can haul all my wife’s luggage lol.

The 0603 is from disconnecting your batteries and the battery depleting in the PCM. It’s not from the tune

my batteries haven’t been disconnect for at least two months or so when I replaced both batteries and alternator.
I read a post here that “some tunes” will set this error. That’s why I asked if the atlas 40 would cause this. If not the tune, and my batteries haven’t been disconnected for a while, what else would cause this?

When was the last time you checked or cleared your codes? I have the atlas 80 and don’t have that code and I would bet that there isn’t anyone in the 6.0 forum with the atlas 40 has that code.

I can’t say for certain however, I know I’ve checked and cleared them since I replaced the batteries, alternator, and FICM.
