Today the car was idling with the air conditioner on when it starts to shake and the check engine light came on.
I checked the codes there were I think nine of them. The one I remember are U0001, U0140, p700. The car ran fine since August 7, 2016 until today. Today I wiggled PCM connector #4 the car did not starts and the security light was flashing, the battery light came on too. I had to disconnect the negative battery after that the car started.

with the U codes this needs to be checked by a mechanic because modules are not reading each other like they should. you could have a bad or weak battery as that will cause multiple codes . most places can check for free including a load test.
