Default Dakota 2001 would not start

My Dakota 2001 V6 3.9L would not start. I did the thing were you how the trip reset and a turned key to run for 5 seconds, got chec in odometer then 920 921 999. Then I tried to start again and got no bus on odometer. Can anyone tell me what the codes mean and is this a sign of the pcm being bad.
Thanks,
If the crank sensor goto ground, what can y do.

None of those codes are listed in my service manuals. "No Bus" means the PCM is bad. Others here may have more info for you, sorry to hear about the problem. Check the code listing sticky at the top of the page here.

Thats odd, I've never heard of a code with all those numbers in it before. Usually they are just P - followed by 4 digits.

Ive actually had this problem before. It turned out I had a bad ground on the engine wiring harness. I bet your fuel pump doesnt kick on whin you turn the key over does it. Thats why it dont start. I would check your ground connections.
