If it cranks at all and just doesnt start it sounds like ur fuel pump. Little more info would help though.
Also check ur fuses. #19 maxi fuse under hood and ignition fuse under dash.

Did you happen to hit a pothole or bump in the road? VCheck the fuel shutoff switch that is behind the passenger side kick panel

That code tells you that the CHT sensor is telling the PCM that it's overheating, and it will NOT start till you fix what's causing that. It's probably a defective CHT sensor or something wrong in the wiring to it.

You can NOT just "reset" it or "get it out" of fail-safe.
