Had the same messages, replaced the steering position sensor, had a stored code. Found TSB related to that code regarding corrosion fretting in the connector. Haven’t seen messages since it was replaced a few months ago.
How difficult is this to replace?

Got a bunch of these messages after the truck sat for about an hour after a 500 mile drive. Was trying to go to dinner but when i got to the the driveway, the truck wouldn't respond to the pedal. Wouldn't even move with the brake off. Barely inched my way backwards into a parking space. Check engine light is on but my dongle won't communicate with ecu to check codes. There's power, just no comms. After about 5 minutes of checking for loose connections the truck was able to run fine. Check engine light is on, but still no comm using the dongle. How can i resolve to no comm issue to check the code?

Check fuses looking at the ones for the ECM.

usually it's the cigarette power port fuse, obd communication is shared with it.

This morning all was good. Pulled a laundry list of codes related to communication loss. Only one that came back after clearing is B1925-02 which is Left Seat Cushion Heater Sensor Circuit Shorted to Ground. Truck runs fine now

But, watching this video for the same code, it's a transmission related? Makes more sense for my problem. Truck was still idling but no power could be applied in gear

Same thing happened again this week. Theres also a code for the driver heater open or shorted. After doing some search the same code can cause the tcm to trip out? Anyways look what i found. Hope this resolves these trans issues. The wires are melted under the seat
