When the code P0606 is set in the Powertrain Computer, it means that the Powertrain Computer or PCM is failing its own self-check and has found problems with the CPU (central processing unit ). So, in most cases, the processor itself is defective and the PCM needs to replaced and re-programmed.
It stands for: P0302 is certainly a cause for concern, and can be a threat to the drivability the Dodge Ram. The nice thing about it is that the P0302 has tracked the problem to a particular cylinder, which makes diagnosing the problems simpler than P0300, which means that the cylinders are randomly misfiring.
Both codes are serious and could be expensive on either the 3.7 or 4.0 engines if they stand. I was going to suggest the battery as the first place to check if more than 3 years old.
Have you erased these codes and do they return? Did they start after you replaced the battery? Reset the Nitro computer by disconnecting the battery (again) for 5 minutes. Check out ALL connections to battery and PCM, inside and out. Make sure every thing inside the PCM is not loose.
As far as the PO302 error code, if it is not electrical it may be mechanical and require removal of the head.
I would recommend a trip to a Chrysler Dealer Service Department for an estimate as a second opinion.
