Was the check engine light on the last time it ran? Was this all of a sudden? No other symptoms before now? Have you checked the relays, and fuses?

If you have part of the electrical, but not all, I would suspect a blown fuse or fusible link. Since you have a later model, I would look for a underhood fuse box. It may have some large value maxi fuses in it. See if these all look good, You may want to pull them out anyway to check for corrosion on the fuse terminals, even though the fuse may be good.
