Seven years on a car battery is a good long run by any measure. It’s time has come. Install a new battery before any further diagnostics.

Replace the battery as a precaution and the truck died yesterday and is dead again this morning.... thus can’t be good!
This is my complaint with "newer" cars... too many electronics. They have over complicated the system.. it could be anything. Have someone scan it...
1-did you check all your fuses as recommended above? If not do that first. As stated, jump starting can fry a CCM or pop a fuse. Since that was the diagnostic code pulled, check that first. A damaged/shorted CCM could cause a parasitic drain. Since you have a drain, a blown fuse is unlikely, but possible.
2-clean your battery terminals and charge battery.
3-check current drain on the battery by measuring Amps with a suitable meter.
Disconnect one side of the battery and put an Ammeter in line between the terminal and disconnected cable note: do not start the car with this meter connected as this could fry your meter. Pull fuses and test again. Put fuse back in and pull next...repeat until a large draw disappears. Then see what that fuse connects to and troubleshoot down from there. Good luck.

Well this is interesting, got home truck has been dead for 24 hours and this relay was clicking so loud you could hear it hear in the garage, it was under the hood in the fuse fuse box. Pulled it started the truck drove for 5 miles only thing not working were the vanity and over head lights???
that's scary right there.... that a relay can kill the thing...

Really what does it control? It’s $12 from Toyota and the truck ran great without it plugged in!
that is what I'm saying, if you didnt hear it making noise you would still be without a vehicle and in a remote area that could be a very bad thing....

Where exactly (which position) in the fuse box did it come from?

Thanks for the photo. Looks like you did a recent brake fluid flush as well. Fluid looks clean.

The truck was dead on Monday and had never been jump started before so, it died on its own.....absolutely never hooked up wrong and the battery pack is top of the line.
