The DTC connector doesn't talk to any of the modules via the CAN Bus - the scanner communicates to the other modules via the SCI network (Serial communication something, don't recall exactly), but if that comm network isn't working, I don't think the ECU does anything except throw a error code. I'll try to check the manual tonight, and also the P2313 code from the TMU (I think the different modules reuse the error code numbers...). You might try blowing the SLA module out or spraying contact cleaner in it, but the chances of that working are slim.

It definitely looks dirty underneath the shifter, and I tried blowing it our with air and contact cleaner with no luck. I found a nice looking SLA on ebay with the wires snipped and connector still attached as well as the cable snipped and still attached so I know those weren't aggressively removed from the SLA and possibly damaging the connection points. It also states it was tested and working. So I may go ahead and buy it and pray thats my issue! I will keep an eye out for your response still though!
