I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Never heard of a "reboot" on the module, but those modules go bad all of the time. The main power relay is soldered to the board inside the module when every other relay on the truck is replaceable.Also, A bad connection at the battery(s) can cause the same issue, or even a bad battery. If voltage drops to much while cranking (below 9.5ish), the module won't wake up properly. This or a bad relay will have the same codes usually.

I can say however that bad ground issues have caused more problems with more vehicles than I can count, and usually are ignored in favor of pricier and more complicated diagnosis. whenever I have electrical issues nowadays, the first thing I do is clean the terminals, pull the battery, and chase the ground wire back to the chassis and get out the wire brush. after doing a much better job getting to bare metal than any manufacturer, checking the wire for corrosion under the sheathing, I coat it in anti-corrosion battery grease, and hook it all back up. I would say 75% of my problems are typically solved following this method.
