The computer swap gave only temporary relief. It failed after about a month in the same manner as the first time. I actually had another computer to swap in and the cycle started again and eventually failed. I had good fortune to get the computers cleared of the faults and all had code 42220 in common. This gave me a clue. I started noticing that the clock and radio would reset while I was driving. I cleaned all of the power connections in the engine bay, swapped out relays, replaced the ignition switch, swapped out fuses for fuse 19, and went so far as to replace the alternator. All to no avail. The battery seemed like a long shot (less than 2 yrs old and car turned over fine) but I had run out of ideas. I replaced the battery and the car has been flawless ever since. No resets, no trouble codes, all is well again.
