Computer problem 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I had to disconnect the battery to replace the a/c condenser and now "error" is displayed in the odometer. I connected a scan tool and found no codes.

When the error message reads in the odometer is means the CAN is down and the three inputs from various computers is not seen so the computer does not know how many miles you have driven hence the error message.

I would start by checking fuses becasue it sounds like one is blown

Here is a guide and the fuse locations to get us started.

They had problems with the transmission control relay as well

Please let us know what happens.
