A failure can trigger a P0606 code, causing rough idle, stalling, or loss of power.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"quick-summary\">\n<h2>Quick Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The module resides beside the air cleaner assembly.<\/li>\n<li>Removal takes 1.5 hours; relearn steps are 0.5 hours each.<\/li>\n<li>The P0606 code indicates internal PCM malfunction.<\/li>\n<li>Replacements are VIN\u2011programmed and ready for installation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<p>If you own a 2012 Scion iQ and notice performance issues such as hesitation or a P0606 diagnostic code, you might be dealing with the Powertrain Control Module. This guide explains the role of the module in your vehicle, outlines the removal and installation process, and highlights what you can expect from a Flagship One replacement unit. By the end, you\u2019ll understand why the module matters and how a proper swap can bring your iQ back to reliable operation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>What the PCM Does in a 2012 Scion iQ<\/h2>\n<p>The Powertrain Control Module in a 2012 Scion iQ controls engine combustion timing, fuel injection, and transmission shift logic. It coordinates sensor data to optimize performance and emissions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/toyota-ecm-pcm-ecu-engine-computer\/scion-ecm-pcm-ecu-engine-computer\/iq-engine-computers.html\">2012 Scion iQ Powertrain Control Module<\/a> failure can manifest as misfires or a loss of power. Because the PCM is integral to engine management, a fault can lead to a P0606 code and unpredictable drivability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>Where the PCM Is Located and What Replacement Involves<\/h2>\n<p>The module sits adjacent to the air cleaner assembly. To reach it, remove the Windshield Washer Jar Assembly and the No. 1 Air Cleaner Inlet. The total labor for removal and reinstall is 1.5 hours. After the module is in place, the factory relearn procedure requires 0.5 hours for the Powertrain Control Module and another 0.5 hours for the Engine Control Module.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:22px auto;text-align:center;max-width:720px\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border:1px solid #e2e6ec;border-radius:8px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2012-scion-iq-ecm-location-card.webp\" alt=\"2012 Scion iQ PCM location diagram\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#667085;margin-top:8px\">Typical PCM mounting area on the 2012 Scion iQ (reference).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div style=\"background:#f7f9fc;border:1px solid #e2e8f2;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 24px;margin:18px 0\">\n<h3 style='margin-top:0'>How to Reach the PCM on the 2012 Scion iQ<\/h3>\n<ol style=\"margin:14px 0 6px 0;padding-left:26px\">\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> windshield washer jar assembly.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Pull<\/b> up the lever to loosen the lock and disconnect the 2 connectors from the ECM.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the 5 bolts and the ECM from the fan shroud.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> ecu bracket.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the 2 screws and the ECU bracket from the ECM.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style='margin:10px 0 0 0'><em>Work with the ignition off, and treat the module as static-sensitive: avoid touching the connector pins at any point.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:18px 0;font-size:15px\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;background:#f2f5f9;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left\">Operation<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;background:#f2f5f9;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left\">Configuration<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;background:#f2f5f9;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left\">Book Time<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Powertrain Control Module R&amp;R<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">1.5 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Powertrain Control Module Relearn<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.5 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Engine Control Module Relearn<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.5 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Engine Control Module R&amp;R<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">1.5 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>Programming Requirements After Replacement<\/h2>\n<p>After installing a new module, the factory requires a relearn sequence for both the Powertrain Control Module and the Engine Control Module.
