Hello,

It sounds like you have a ground wire off. Can you check to see if any ground wires were left off when you were doing the job?

Let me know, Ken

Did you disconnect the battery when you did the job? If so you could have had a voltage spike which took out the PCM? Can you please give me the codes again? Some of them do not make sense.

It does sounds like you had a voltage spike that could have taking out the PCM/TCM. Let's check all fuses before we change it out though. Here is a guide and the fuse locations:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. Can you make sure the PCM and TCM are plugged in all the way? Remove the connector and reinsert.
