Hard or no start, red lightning bolt flashing, no throttle response, headlight stays on, and rough idle throughout idling
I was called to another garage to fix a 2005 300c chrysler. The problems they noticed with the car was Hard or no start, red lightning bolt flashing, no throttle response, headlight stays on, immediate stalling after starting and rough idle throughout idling as a result a new PCM was replaced with a new one however problem still persisted.
I scanned for DTC codes and saw a P0340, P2167, P2166, P2115, P2116, p0603 and more module codes like C2202, U0168, U1414, B1A25, etc.
Please, how do I fix the major problems - hard starting, engine stalling and others?
You probably won't get anything until the anti-theft system is happy:
U0168 Lost Communication With Vehicle Security Control Module

Always start with this simple stuff. How is the charging system? Did you load test the battery + alternator?
Fuses and relays all good?
Chryslers are notorious for their awful TIPM's. Might try replacing that.

You're indeed a great engineer! I noticed that the battery light and ESP light illuminated.
In the process of cranking the car problem was now a crank no start. Thus, I did a relay swap which fixed the problem.
Well, I didn't check the battey voltage
