Since you are blown, you (probably) have had the car tuned with the chip. The code is not causing any problems, it is just telling you that the pcm memory was erased. The check engine light will not come on for the code, so unless you are trying to smog the car and the car fails a code scan, just leave the chip in. Just pull it when you get the car smogged.
