Question Need help translating codes

My PCM apparantly needs to be reflashed. Today I pulled the following codes with my Predator-

-P0602
-P0603
-P0605
-P0733
-P1211
-P1690

I know 603 is a KAM error, and 733 is an incorrect gear ratio, and 1211 is ICP press out of desired area, but I don't know what causes any of these or what the ICP is duh....Anyone know of a site that diagnoses this stuff or at least will tell me what these codes are? Thanks!

P0602 Control Module Programming Error
P0603 Internal Control Module Keep Alive Memory (KAM) Error
P0605 Internal Control Module Read Only Memory (ROM) Error
P1211 ICP Not Controllable - Pressure Abow/Below Desired
P1690 Wastegate Control Valve Malfunction

From the first three I would say you're correct, your PCM needs reflashing. Do that, then look for more codes.

DO you think it would do anything if I disconnected the batteries for about half an hour, or are the codes "stuck" in the PCM?

No, I think that P0602 code is the killer. That with the ROM code (which is where the programming is stored) indicates your code is FUBAR and needs to be reflashed (or reloaded).

P060* codes are usually caused by a tuner.

It's not really a big deal. I would try tuning it back to stock and see if the codes go away. If they do then you know what caused them.

It is tuned back to stock, but I still got the code. I'm just gonna take it to the stealership on MLK day and get it reflashed- I am however scared to re-install the Predator. Should I be concerned, or just go for it? I eventually want to get a DB 4 pos. tuner, but gotta stick with the Predator (or stock) till I get some bills straightened out. Gotta justify it to the wife grrr.....

The KAM error will be there when you reflash to the stock programming. This is normal.

I'd contact the manufacturer and see what they have to say.

Well, also by reading his other post, he's had a shop digging around in there and had their scanner hooked up. It's possible some of their diagnostics may have triggered a few of those codes.

The Predator has the capability of erasing codes. Clear them with the tuner and drive around for a while to see if they pop back up.

Yeah, I cleared them, but they came back, even with the truck in stock original tune.

Which ones exactly are popping up again? I know you have some tranny issues, but I'd like to see all the codes that are happening on bone stock programming.
