Possible causes

– Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
– PCM harness is open or shorted
– PCM circuit poor electrical connection
– PCM Programming

Tech notes

Check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) fuse, if fuse is OK try erasing the code first and if the code comes back you may have to reprogram or replaced the PCM.
