    Seems that the codes deal with a power problem to the cars computer.

    I would remove the air box and take the PCM out and check for any damaged wires or if the connections have corrosion.

    Make sure to unhook the battery before you do anything with cleaning or taking the connectors off.

    Thats just something to check here, but a likely cause is that the PCM has failed.

    I removed it today and it looked clean and I didn't notice any wire damage. If I order a used one is it possible it will work?

    I put the used ecm in. Had to do a security relearn on the key. Now it's running good.

    Good to hear.

    A failed PCM is pretty rare.
