That code is a communication issue between the TAC and the PCM and could very well be a wiring problem.

This is going to be a problem with the serial data wires between the TAC module and the PCM

They are on pin # 12 0rg/blk and pin # 13 Dk bl/wht
The TAC module is on the firewall, on the driver's side.

They go to pins # 14 and 15 of the PCM connector C1
