Post a video of the code.

I'm assuming you're chipped and tuned?

Wait I don't think you can chip an auto ecu. Why didn't you post that before

Bad program, you can't chip auto ecu's unless they are converted.

68 is usually caused by either a bad ROM (it happens, they can become corrupted) or a broken solder in the chip (can also happen). Take it to the tuner and have him fix it.

I don't understand if you have a manual transmission or auto transmission.

If you have an auto transmission and an auto ecu it CANNOT be chipped

If you have a manual transmission and an auto ecu it won't work, it has to be converted to a manual ecu.
