The p0607 error says Control Module Performance. It has something to do with the Control Module for the powertrain as you indicated. But, you may be able to take your car to a transmission shop to alleviate the problem using a transmission expert.
I don't think that it doesn't have anything to do with the engine, itself, even though it's listed under a driveability related code.
Good luck on this repair.
I think it's a fixable thing that may require a tear down of the transmission or replacing the control module. I'm not convinced that it will require an entire transmission rebuild or replacement, since it's an electronic device that sometimes is on the outer part of the transmission.
I would consult a transmission shop, though, to be sure of all of your alternatives.
A dealer may be able to help as well, but sometimes hard transmission cases are sent from a dealer to a transmission shop, I've seen before, just as some hard auto electric cases are sometimes referred to auto electric shops for repair.
Good luck on this, again.

Removal & Installation
CAUTION
The control module is sensitive to static discharge. Make sure to touch a nearby metal object to discharge any static electricity that may be built up on your body.
To Remove:
NOTE: Use the scan tool to reprogram the new powertrain control module (PCM) with the vehicle's original identification number (VIN) and the vehicle's original mileage. If this step is not done, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may be set. Disconnect the negative battery cable and isolate.
WARNING
If the negative battery cable is not disconnected the possibility of damaging the Powertrain Control Module by contacting the positive battery cable at the PDC.Remove the 2 nuts holding the PCM and bracket.
Unlock and disconnect the electrical connectors at the PCM.
Remove the 3 fasteners holding the PCM to the bracket.
To Install: Install PCM to bracket.
Install PCM and bracket to vehicle and connect the electrical connectors and lock connectors.
Install the 2 nuts and tighten.
Connect negative battery cable and reprogram radio and clock.
Using scan tool, program mileage and vehicle identification number (VIN) into PCM. Refer to the scan tool and the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Manual.
This sounds like an expensive repair it the mechanic would have to strip and tear down the transmission to remove and replace the power train control module.
I looked up the PCM or Powertrain Control Module for your vehicle, and it said that it is outside of the transmission and that it can be replaced without tearing down the transmission, as I suspected.
So, that's a possible thing that can be replaced with one from a salvage yard or from an auto parts store.
I hope this helps.
No, the PCM is outside of the transmission, I read in the repair manual for your vehicle.
Click on View More Comments for instructions on how to remove the PCM which is outside of the transmission but connected to it through a wiring harness.
If this is an air control valve piece that I am replacing I remember having to get this done before. I will have to check with the dealership I took my car into to see if that is still under warranty. I had to replace the original transmission on the car with a refurbished one and had to also put in a new air valve. So this definitely sounds like a familiar piece that I thought already was replaced and fixed about 3 years ago. Would you know the warranty on air valves?
I do not know how long the air control valve piece is warranted, off hand. However, the PCM is not an air valve, I do not believe.
The PCM is like a computer that controls the transmission shift points based on input data from speed sensors and what not.
It is an electronic device, and not an air valve on the engine.
I don't know off hand what the warranty on the control valve piece or air control valve is. But I don't think it's related to the transmission as much as the PCM.
i guess that comes in all the stratus dodge cause mine is a rt 2001 and i am going through the same exact problem and it turned out to be one of the computers the rt has 3 one is for the transmission
I got this code when I changed my ignition coils and it was getting repeated even after clearing it. So I used the old coils again and after resetting problem din't get repeated.

You need to consult to a programmer specialist because uts need to recode
In the 2003 ford e250 triton engine it refers to the driver control module as a control module that delivers gas to the fuel pump, through the filter injectors etc on it's way to the engine. located under the back finder well on the rail. drivers side. It then goes to the fuel pump. If it's faulty your engine won't start. Now what i need to know does this model have a control module or not. one person says yes another says no, which is it. any answers or possible a manual? Thanks

Hello
The engine
and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train
are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM
(Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the
computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some
exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature
sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in
its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems
memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read
you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and
resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A
TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR
HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

I hope this doesn't mean that I have to replace my transmission.
