2001 Chrysler Town and Country 6 cyl Automatic 45,000 miles

I have a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country and the check engine light came on a few days ago, I turned the key 3 times to get the code on the odometer and code P0601 came up. From research I've done it appears I need to replace the PCM. My car is running fine. My question is we are leaving for Disneyland in a few days, 800 miles roundtrip. Is it necessary to get the PCM replaced before we leave, since I am having no symptoms. Last thing I want to be is stranded half way to LA.

I doubt the PCM needs replaced. I would be looking for loose or corroded wiring. AS far as your trip, I hope you understand, I can't guarantee anything, especially from here. If it is running fine and there has been no change, I would say it should make it, but as soon as I say that, it will die in your driveway.
