So what are you trying to ask?

OBD2 codes do not tell you the ECM is bad, it will throw a number of codes that can help diagnose a bad computer.

ok well let me go into detail.... at first the head unit went then the lights interior wise and now the lock/alarm system went.... idk what it can be

..but there is some serious issue here.

You propobly have one module that failed and is screwing up everything else. If the PCM would be dead then the car would not run.

well does anyone have anything i can buy off them to fix the issue?

You don't even know whats wrong with the car so how can you buy something to fix it?

check all your fusses first, have you made any modifications to your car? did it happen just out of the blue?
