Will the transmission control module stop the car from running

A code only gives you clues on where to look. You could have wiring concern, for example, causing not only the code for the transmission control module to set, but also perhaps influence the other problems, such has no start. If your fuel gauge is staying at empty, you could have some kind of fuel delivery issue starting in the tank. I'd have a fuel pressure test performed. www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
