My buddy had this problem once and we found his battery terminal was loose and dirty. we cleaned and tightened it all worked fine. Might not be your problem but we tend to over look the easy stuff sometimes.

Check fuses, and battery first, then consult the FSM

The ECU would be damaged for sure....

Check the ignition accessories relays and ALL fuses. (Multimeter)

Pull them, and ebergise the coil with a 9v battery and read the contacts with a multimeter. The are locaed in the underhood relay / fuse box and under the dah.

View the ultimate sticky and check the EL section. Its probably a fuse.
