limp mode
My Scanguage2 doesn't read these codes. It needs a more advanced tool. Even if the fault is removed, the computer may need a reset before the warnings go away. I'll try to poke around in there this weekend look for obvious things.
Ohhh and since the TCM is using the engine as a grounding point then you should have a good ground from the engine to the body as well.
If you suspect a bad ground maybe measure the resistance between the engine and the negative terminal of the battery, Should be a sharp zero,

The best way to check a connection is doing a voltage drop test, WHEN THE CIRCUIT IS UNDER LOAD. One strand of wire can give a low resistance reading and yet will not work if any amount of current is required to be passed thru the circuit.
The van would not run at all without those relays working.
I just finished probing all the wires at the TCM. It has power and good ground to the engine block and battery. Crank/IGN power is good. Wake up signal is good, and there's 2.5V on the data network lines too. That should be all it needs to work and respond, so I can only conclude that the TCM is fried.

One last thing you could try is to disconnect the battery maybe overnight and see what a good reboot might do. I dont believe much ... but worth a try.
Some have reported reflashing the ECM has cured the U0101. See with a dealer ?

ECM works fine. Engine runs. It's only the TCM that doesn't respond to the other modules, or diagnostic tools.
I unplugged the battery for about 1/2h. Engine light goes out, but comes back soon after a bit of driving.
