DTC U1001-U1254 Loss of Communications
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) U1016
Vehicle not starting an running ?
Do you know anything about GM class 2 serial data network .
Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring (Node Alive messages). A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that module's Node Alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 10 seconds, a DTC U1016
The control module ID number list below provides a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with a class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC indicating the module that can not communicate.

Do you know how to do a loaded circuit test for the power an ground circuits for that module ?

This is going to require special testing with a GM scanner, it is not a do it yourself repair. My guess is this you have a defective instrument cluster display
There is a Pontiac Technical Service Bulletin addressing your exact issue, right down the the same exact codes you are getting. Here is the information I gathered and I will place a link to the page where I found it. You will need to scroll down the list of TSBs to find your specific one. Apparently this is a problem for the Grand Prix.
Here is the basic data:
TSB Number:
0308116001
NHTSA Number:
10002880
TSB Date:
February 1, 2004
Date Added to File:
September 30, 2003
Failing Component:
Electrical System
Summary:
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) U1000, U1016, U1064, U1096 or U1305 set in error. This bulletin replaces previous bulletin dated 06/01/2003.
