Default Help with VSA Light!

Hey Guys!

Im having a problem with my 07 civic si. The VSA light and the /!\ Traction control light are on.

I pulled the codes and they are as follows:

86-11 Fcan Communication with ecm/pcm
83-13 ECM/PCM relation failure.

I believe this light came with I short circuited a wire on accident (touched the grounding wire and the power wire) I check every fuse under my dash and under the hood but they all seem to be good.

Can anyone help me diagnose this problem? I couldnt find much info on those codes. I have a multimeter but not sure what needs to be tested or what/where the PCM or ECM is.

Throttle position sensor not working...take it to the dealer and get a price... when mine went out on me..twice... I was lucky enough that it was under warranty...I hear they aren't cheap...

It seems that they aren't connected to the VSA, but they are... I asked the techs when they did the work...

But doesn't the TPS Sensor have its own code?
