The engine may not start at times and DTC P0607 (control unit faulty) may be stored in the fault memory. The DME control unit can become damaged via the electrical wires as a result of electrostatic discharge of the throttle housing.

An optimized throttle housing with insulation was installed during production since Aug. 24, 2016. For vehicles produced before that date, the new DME control unit and throttle housing must be installed in the event of a complaint. The new DME assembly is P/N 24700.
