Check your TCM connector for oil leaking into it.

this is usually a pre-06 issue but bad coils will shut TCM off

absolutely. Been there done that. I had no misfire codes ever. Only a trans checksum code towards the end. Way i found bad coils was watching individual misfire counters

You did not answer the question! You are just feeding us what you think is wrong. Do you have SDD or equivalent? Does your mechanic have access to it? You will be spending a lot of money firing the parts cannon if you do not have proper diagnosis.

U1101 can be caused anywhere along the CAN bus. Often the ABS module will get an internal fault to ground. Did you test the CAN bus wires for short to ground? Each should be over 10k ohms.

Geez, learn to punctuate. I'm not even trying to participate because I can't make sense of your posts. No apologies for that. Communicate clearly, or bugger off.

Shows how little you know! There can be a dead short on one of the lines and still have 60 ohms across the two bus wires.

Wow, you got it all right! To help your understanding - If you get a ground fault on the line to your battery ground does your car stop? When you start the car the voltage increases considerably over battery voltage and can overcome a partial short in the ABS or other module. Then the fault can disappear until next low voltage condition. And yes I am having a very nice day.
