In that case, what I would do is find the procedure for testing the PCM and give that a try. Something weird is happening with what it is giving you for codes. I have never had or suspected a bad PCM myself, so I cannot remember the procedure for testing it. Good luck.

i think its doing that cause my buddy played a trick on me the other day and disconnected my battery cables after school. when i got out of track, i figured out what the problem was about 15 seconds after i realized there was a problem. when he did, it reset everything, and my truck hasnt thrown any codes since he did it.
