Default P1606

So I got the P1606 code - VVEL issue, limp mode. The first time it happened, I was able to reset the ECU and was able to get home. Next day, the code came back. I ordered a used VVEL module from ebay, swapped it out. Code was still there and still in limp mode. I tried to clear the code with a scanner, disconnecting the battery, and using the ignition on/accelerator presses method (5 times) and still couldnt clear the code.
After that, I went and got a new VVEL relay and swapped that out, still have the code. Tried both old and "new" VVEL modules with the new relay and no luck. So as I stand, still getting the code and still cannot reset the ECU.
I could have very well received a bad VVEL module from Ebay, but why cant I reset the code?

Anybody have any ideas whats going on?
