The Best "On Topic"
Thoroughly Thrashed Out Thread that I can think of that will offer you some Solid, Sound advice on How to Diagnose what looks like a Class 2 Network Problem with your Vehicle... is THIS One:
2005 Chevy Trailblazer LT, 2-Door, 4WD, I6 4.2L engine Won't start or turn over. No starter signal at starter relay but when jump relay will turn over but not start. No check engine light. All instrument light on when first to key on the go out except battery & gauge warning light stay on...

This is a very densely packed Thread and I recommend that you Download, Save and Frequently Watch Will Robinson's (from
Robinson's Auto) Video in the Linked Thread on How to Diagnose GM Vehicle Networks that show the very same symptoms you are having with the issue of trying to support TWO PCMs being on the SAME Network.
It is very likely that the
Single Wire Class 2 Network is experiencing something like having these two ECMs
"Arguing with One Another" in a way that either One or the Other will have to be Removed in order to get ALL of the Stock Modules to be able to communicate again. The central idea with these systems requires following these suggestions;
(1) Only Change ONE Thing-Connection-Parameter or Variable in the System at a time.
(2) Use the Proper Tools to get to the Root of these issues. Tech 2 PICO- or Hantek Scope, Etc. (EDIT: as per
@Mooseman and
@TJBaker57 get the ELM Unit. THIS one has Top Ratings from 20,000 + Buyers on Amazon:

(3) Take the System(S) Down to their Essence and WORK BACKWARDS TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM.
(4) Do some research on similar Dual Network Set Ups that show the way to Isolate one PCM-ECM from the other WITH ONE OF THE CLASS 2 NETWORKS HAVING AN ISOLATED, SELF CONTAINED WIRING SYSTEM
(Engine and Transmission Management... for example.)
(5) Class 2 Networks WITH CAN Bus capability or Later Model "High-Low" Network Designs may NOT be compatible with the portion of Networks that are STRICTLY designed for a Single Wire Topology.
(6) Make a Folder and collect EVERYTHING Technical there so you can read the various Product PDFs and seek out these possible Networking Irregularities.
(7) Class 2 Networks do NOT operate on the Old UART 0-5 Volts DC Protocols. They work in the "On-Off" Ranges of 0-7 Volts DC. Check your Installation Manual on BOTH PCMs for the Specs differences between the two PCMs and seek to find any such communications discrepancies.
(8) THIS suggestion should have been made first:
Start a Brand New Thread under the Technical category for the Year Make and Model of your GM or GMC Vehicle. The Mods will move it to the right place if necessary.
Hope this is at least a starting point for you...
