I learned hardware first. My first computer used discrete resistor transistor logic, and needed repairs before I could learn to program.
I don't even remember who made the one dad dragged home from work in 1973. All I know is the maker was out of business for over 7 years. Nobody wanted it. When dad got it, the cables between the racks had been cut by cable cutters. So as an 8yo I was repairing a computer under the mentoring of a nuclear physicist.
Took a look. All it appears to be is a wiring diagram. Nothing on what goes on in each module so of little use to diagnosing PCS issues. I now know which wires to connect into to feed power to the onboard AC charger from my own battery pack. Of course to be safe one would need to figure out how to make the system think the charge port is in use, but also keep the charge port door shut.
Service screen showing multiple PCS2 Check Failures. I just had it in to service the driver and passenger side latch switches that had become rock hard and not moving. I also had an error one morning that said car restart issue, it might not restart. Then I had a couple of glitchy issues with powershare prompts over the paste 3 months. They blew that off as firmware updates happening at the same time and did not replicate any power issues. I asked them if they could check my PCS, but they said it was fine and no warnings. Of course the forum here helps us predict that these issues would crop up, so thank you all for posting information and I hope mine helps others. I still wonder if I have an bigger issue in that I had a PowerTrain error while on a 300 mile trip. The warning stated major failure could happen. I drove it the rest of the trip and it kept coming up on the way to my destination after each supercharger. However, on the way back it went away. The service center chalked it up to temperature issues and firmware as they added fluid, but it was less than 100ml. I told them it was 75 degrees out and had been driving for 200 miles. Service center just said it is the temperature of the transmission and not outdoor temperature....does not make sense. I remember that issue when I first got it and it was -10 degrees, then I believed it was a firmware issue. Finally, look at all the the other errors. They could be nothing or they could be something I can't tell. I did ask about the 24V-832 Inverter Recall and they said my VIN was not part of it.
BTW, my line skip did not do much for me. They want me to wait until May 4th when they will have a loaner vehicle for me to use.Service screen showing multiple PCS2 Check Failures.

So the issue is your truck is still functional and they don't have the PCS, they want you to keep driving and hope it makes it until the PCS shortage goes away.Service screen showing multiple PCS2 Check Failures.

i actually asked them if they are order the parts before my appointment, so I don't have to wait another month when I show up for my appointment. I am not sure how much driving I can do with my CT for now.
