Hello there, many different faults can cause this combination of codes on your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser.
When we see loss of communication codes with Transmission Control Module (TCM) internal faults, this usually means one of the following:
- the TCM is failing
- the TCM is not being supplied with enough power
- the wiring to the TCM is faulty
Given that you have fuel codes as well, the first place a qualified technician should check is the battery, and to inspect the wiring of the vehicle. Then a Check Engine Light inspection should be done to asses the codes.
