Your code is caused by a lack of good connectivity between the battery and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) ... or a failing PCM (Ouch!).
1. Check to make sure the battery cables are not corroded and tightly fastened ... both ends.
2. Look around the alternator for corroded/loose terminals.
3. Under the hood, there is a plastic covered "battery junction box"... full of relays, diodes, and fuses. Your glove box manual describes this box,
4. Unplug, lubricate and replug the PCM connections with dieltric grease. Have the battery disconnected for this one.
5. Check the powertrain electrical harness for breaks.
Good luck!
