Default Fault Codes Help !!!!

I have a 2003 Audi A4 1.8 T Quattro
Pull into drive way CEL light was flashing , car had a miss fire . As all German cars I went to the coil packs. Scan codes and getting PO688
ECM/TCM power relay sense circuit . I got another ECM , plug into car and getting same fault code . The engine cranks over, checked and I have fuel pressure . Audi still wont crank . Any ideas or help would be help full.
Also this happen all at once , not a ongoing problem that I ignored .

The fault code indicates more of a power issue to the ECM, not the ECM. I am helpless on power issues, but here is the ross tech troubleshooting guide. Need to do some research on the "relay 271".
