No Start (Further Diag)

Got my factory service manuals out.....
GEEZE Could they make it any harder to find what you are looking for,
and how to diagnose it, bouncing between both books... arrgghh

OK Said to check for codes.
Got: CODE 41
Ignition Control (IC) Circuit (Open Circuit)
Flow Chart starts at Clear DTC
Crank for 15 seconds, Does code reset.

Now my first question is clearing codes:
Google has conflicting info.
Some say disconnect Neg Bat terminal for 10 seconds.
Others say disconnect Bat Cable AND turn on headlight switch
for 5 to 10 minutes.

After reading more in the CrAzY ass manual I stumbled onto the
"DTC section"
There is more than one code 41, depending on which "system" is being
displayed.

The actual code was H41.
Can someone help me with whether I'm in the right system..
There is also a CCM system 41 which is "Loss of PCM/ECM Serial Data
Communications"
Think I had it right the first time, but not sure.

Thanks Bob, just what I needed.
Going to do the Service Manual Flow Chart Next with
Multimeter & Test Light.

Even at the end of the flow chart the final box states "open circuit OR
bad module"
Called Auto Zone and the guy said it couldn't be returned, 80 bucks.
uggh :-)

Geeze, it took a solid hour and a half just to figure out what the "PCM"
was and how the connectors and connector pin numbers were determined.

Part of the Diagnostic Flow Chart is to check continuity of a certain
pin/wire
from the Ignition Control Module to a certain pin/wire on the "PCM".
NO PCM in the index or anything like it with the word "Power"
(I figured it very well could be an acronym for power or powertrain)
I always thought that computer above the battery was the CCM/ECM.
Nope.... I accidentally found a pic of it just flipping pages...

Those Service Manuals will make you want to kick your cat!! LOL

I'll let you guys know what I find out.
