Default Please help! Error code 16989 (P0605)

I searched the archives and could not find anything. My VAGCOM wrote Inernal Control Module Red Only Memory (ROM) Error (Intermittent).

Looks like something to do with my ECU, but I am not sure. I reset the code few hours back and it had not returned yet, but I am worried if it could be something serious. Does anyone know exactly what it it?

Thanks.

Do you have a Bentley? Are you using the stock ECU or are you chipped?
