Hello, with no check engine light and no comms, I would start by checking all your fuses and then if all ok, next would be powers and grounds at the PCM if nothing stands out during a visual inspection, ie corroded connectors, bad engine/body grounds, etc. Service info has you checking powers and grounds first thing as well, I will post that for you. Are you comfortable with testing wires and have a multimeter and test light?

Here are some guides to help with checking the fuses with a test light if needed. Start with the fuses first, noting any you find that are open circuit (blown fuse).

Here is some service info relating to the U0100 code, notice the U0100 code has to do with Battery power missing. Things such as short to ground (which will pop a fuse), open circuit (meaning the wire is cut in half, or high resistance from poor connections or corrosion. Let us know what you find, we can proceed from there.
