Where is the OBD-II port located on my Toyota Crown?
On the Toyota Crown, the 16-pin DLC diagnostic connector is located Driver lower footwell beneath OBD protective lip. Plug in any standard OBD-II scanner with the ignition in the ON position to read freeze-frame parameters.
Can I safely drive my Toyota Crown with code P0606?
No. The vehicle's main engine computer (ECM) has detected an internal hardware/processor calculation fault and may stall or lock in Limp Mode. Given that P0606 carries a Critical severity rating, we advise avoiding heavy towing or aggressive throttle inputs until sensor readings are verified.
