Default P1516 - No start - Engine Reduce Mode

My car shut down suddently:
Engine reduce mode. It don't start anymore.

No more Fuel Pump noise.

I've swapped the TB, same result.

Do you have some idea ? bad / dead / PCM ?

I can still read/flash the PCM with hptuners.

Check the connection at the gas pedal for bad contacts.

I have checked it.

The pedal sensor is okay. (I see changes with the scanner)
When I move the TB with my hand, I see the changes with the scanner.
The TB doesn't move on accessory mode.

I can't control the fans with the scanner.
There is no fuel pump noise on accessory mode.

maybe the TAC chip died, if the vehicle threw the code out of the nowhere thats what I would point towards with those codes(which all are thrown by the TAC).

The TAC in included is the PCM for C6 ?
I've read it's a second processor in the PCM.

In the C5, the TAC was a separate module.

Is it right ?

Do you have aftermarket Intake? My car went into limp mode/ reduced power because I had a bolt come loose in the intake snout and when the throttle body flap would hit and throw it into limp mode
