Just a side note, you mentioned you got a new RCM and plugged it in so this probably isn't your problem, but it's easy to check. Sometimes the black rectangle in the IC comes from a bad traction control relay in the RCM not providing power to the TCM - if the tcm is not powered, the pcm again doesn't know what gear you're in and won't start. Maybe a quick check before you tackle the SLA is to see if you're getting 12V to the TCM at the TCM connector ( with battery connected, everything plugged in except the tcm, ignition to the on position).

Well I didnt see this message, and after a few hours messing with the ash tray assembly I got it out. I was able to Pull the SLA plug and I measured 60.4 ohms with everything else plugged in. I then read your message and tried measuring the voltage at the TCM Key in ON position and I get .700 Volts with the probes between H & L. I also tried Measuring at the PCM and got .700 Volts between 1 & 11.
Am I supposed to be measuring the voltage in the Can Bus network or somewhere else?
