Acording to Dodge if P2106 sets as the only code, the PCM must be replaced and reprogrammed...Here it is sa in manual...
1. Ignition on, engine not running. With the DRBIII®, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data. The RPM or power are limited when P2106 sets for safety reasons because other ETC related DTCs have set. Did the P2106 set by itself? Yes --> Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information. No --> Test Complete. NOTE: This is only an informational DTC. This code should set along with other DTCs. All other DTCs must be properly diagnosed before continuing.
