Possible PCM problem?
First off I'm a first time user so sorry if I screw something up! I have a '97 f-350 psd and I think I am having a problem with the PCM. My truck sat in the driveway for a couple of weeks in the rain. One morning I started the truck and the wts light would'nt go off. About half way to work the wts light went off and the truck went into limp mode then died. I got it home (on the hook) and checked the gpr and everything works fine. I pulled out the PCM and water was sitting in the case. I dried it out and cleaned the contacts for my chip and put it back in. The truck seems to run fine, shifts a little funny and still no wts light. I had the codes pulled and i got a P0381, P0605, P1395, and a P0603. Can someone please tell me if reflashing the computer would fix the problem or do i need a new PCM?

- DTC P0605 exists only when there has been an internal failure of the powertrain control module (PCM).
- Rerun Scan Tool Diagnostic Test.
