Did you check the 40 amp fuses in the PDC? The FSM shows no other fuses between the battery and the ignition switch. Fuse 9 and 10.
Do the power door locks work? Power windows? If not check fuse 9.
Does the radio work, check fuse 10.
The PCM has nothing to do with getting power to the starter. The power from the battery goes the PDC, then fuse 10 to the ignition switch, through the clutch switch if you have one, then the starter motor relay in the PDC and finally to ground.
Power from the battery also goes from the PDC through fuse 9 to the starter motor solenoid.
Hope it helps.

Did you look at or check the fuses with a meter?
Pull the fuses in the PDC. The 40 amp ones. They feed all the other circuits including the ignition and starter.
You should have battery voltage available on one side of the terminal. If not, chase the heavy battery cables, maybe there is a fusible link that isn't illustrated.
