Could be the all too common cracked solder joints on the instrument cluster circuit board killing the CCD data bus. The data bus connects all the modules in the van. Smack the dash above the cluster and see if anything changes.
63 is is an internal PCM EEPROM failure
1698 is saying the BCM (body controller) is not recieving CCD data from the TCM (transmission controller)

Even if they look good, reflow them with a soldering iron. The cracks can be tiny.
