Model number no good

F6E1 error code is usually the MCU. Take it out & look for bulging capacitor or burn marks. 

F6E1 can also be bad connection between the CCU & MCU.

Check out that MCU

make sure you also check the m13  wire harness connection's  and it's wiring f rom the CCU to the MCU. Especially  where they are coming out of the wire harness at each end. make sure the connections  will be making good contact when plugged into MCU and the CCU.   Also Make sure there are no breaks in the wiring with a continuity test.  If thats all good  as Light house has mentioned it will most likely be associated with the MCU.  Not that the MCU is definately your Problem but it is commonly associated with the MCU  as being your problem when it comes to that F6 E1 error code.   If you decide to change the MCU.  Get it from repairclinic.com  or partspros.com     you can return it with them if it does not solve your issue.   Make sure you take your time and reinstall it properly when its replaced .  All wiring must be tight and properly fitted again.   Definately get back with your findings here also as to whether or not your problem was fixed if you replaced the MCU  OK.
