Have you tried to reset it and see what it does?

Press both buttons at once to reset it. Took me a few tries to figure it out...

If the standard resetting does work, I'd try disconnecting the Neg batt connection, turn on the headlights and leave it for 30 min or so. The idea behind turning on the headlight is to drain every ounce of electricity out of the system.

Later, turn off the headlights, then reconnect the batt.

Honestly, I doubt this will fix the problem - but it will completely reset the PCM, it costs $0 to try it and it may just work.
