These systems are tied to the PCM which sounds like it is going bad, but to be sure we need to do a CAN scan which is easy, and the scanners are cheap on Amazon, this will go over the entire car to let you know what's going on and if the PCM is bad.
You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon for about $30.00.
Here is a video to show you how:

Here is how you can replace the PCM in case this is what comes up as the problem. You can get a programmed PCM by searching Google or Ebay.
Powertrain Control Module Programming and Setup
The following service procedures require either a programming or a setup event preformed for a complete repair.
PCM Replacement
If the powertrain control module (PCM) is replaced, the following procedures must be performed:
1. The PCM Reprogramming-Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) in Vehicle Control Systems.
2. The CKP Variation Learn
- Refer to CKP System Variation Learn Procedure in Computers and Control Systems - 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L (LR4, LM7, LQ4, LQ9, or L59).
- Refer to CKP System Variation Learn Procedure in Computers and Control Systems - 8.1L (L18).
3. The Theft Deterrent Programming-Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in Theft Deterrent.
PCM Reprogramming
- If the PCM needs to be reprogrammed, refer to Service Programming System (SPS).
- Engine Oil Life Remaining-When available, use a scan tool to reset the Engine Oil Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
- Transmission Fluid Life Remaining-When available, use a scan tool to reset the Transmission Fluid Life Remaining back to the original percentage recorded before the module was reprogrammed.
Setup for Component Replacement
The replacement of some components will require a setup procedure for complete repair.
If any of the following components are replaced, a CKP Variation Learn Procedure must be performed.
- Engine Replacement
- Any engine repair that disturbs the CKP sensor or its relationship with the crankshaft reluctor wheel
- CKP Sensor
