PCM question

I have a 97 f350 that I have been having some problems with as of late. I had my glow plugs replaced about a month or so ago. At this time I was told that I had an injector going bad. I went home and put my programmer on it and it said all was well. So I didn't think much about it and I let the truck sit. I went last week to start the truck and the batteries were dead. I put a charger on them for a couple of days to charge them back up. I went to start the truck after the batteries were charged and it would just crank not starting. I noticed the tac wasn't moving so I put a new cam position sensor in. I tried to start it again and it would not start. I hook up the programmer again and it gave me a code the code P0603, powertrain control module. Where do I found the PCM and does it said like it would be bad. It is starting to get frustrating knowing your truck won't start when you want it to. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

That code is OK (dead batteries) and your PCM should be too IMO. The PCM is located behind the emrgency brake pedal.

Does the tach move now with the new CPS?

I'm charging the batteries, tomorrow I will see if the tach moves. What if the tach doesn't move, what would be the next thing I check? Thanks for the PCM location.
