The code P0668 is not a "too much power code". You're reading a generic basic OBD2 code definition. It's still the same ASD relay sense Circuit/Open code that been happening. There are 2 circuits that come off the power feed from the relay that feed 12v to 2 different input circuits to the PCM. Did the overlay not work?
If the PCM is not grounding the ASD relay, that code shows up because the ASD relay is not activating. You have to be a 100% sure on your splice connection. It needs to be crimped correctly and very tight as well as heat shrinked so no moisture gets into the wire. I would recheck your resistance reading from C7 to PCM C3 again and make sure the splice is good. If it is then either the PCM has a bad ground, the PCM driver that grounds the ASD relay has failed inside the computer, or there is a pin fitment issue at the TIPM or PCM.
Something else to check is the ASD relay location resistance check to the TIPM C7 pin 11, that will check the resistance through the TIPM for the control wire for the ASD relay. If there is a bad or cracked solder joint inside the TIPM, or corrosion you will have high resistance. Try reconnecting the TIPM connectors as well, you had an issue with that before. You may not notice it, but every time those connectors are unplugged and plugged back in you have moved all those wires, the section of harness and the TIPM around and nothing is ever perfect with connectors. Not every pin is always exactly the tension it should be or the perfect tightness around the pins.
These connectors are in fact designed not to be disconnected and reconnected ever after they leave the factory. I have researched and read up on engineers and how these vehicles come from the manufacturer. They say that each connector is designed so it should not be disconnected more than 3 times in total in the life of the vehicle.
But they are not technicians and don't have to fix these things. So going by those rules is impossible. So, there are variables that need to be taken into consideration. If the circuit doesn't not work with the PCM, you need to determine why.
This is where I would back probe the PCM connector pin 3 and with a voltmeter set on DC volts connected to battery negative, key On, does that PCM wire become Grounded.
It has to be checked on DC volts you can't measure resistance with a circuit plugged in. You have to measure voltage drop to battery negative from C3 pin 3.
