Cause
Blown fuse supplying the ignition circuit
The ignition circuit's fuse blown, so the coils receive no power. Every cylinder on that feed loses spark together, which is the signature — a complete no-start rather than a misfire, with normal cranking and fuel pressure.
A fuse is a symptom. A shorted coil primary is the usual cause, along with a chafed supply in the loom that runs across the engine. Measure each coil's primary resistance to find the outlier before fitting a replacement, since a new fuse into a shorted coil blows immediately and repeated attempts damage the wiring the fuse protects. Check what else shares the fuse — an apparently unrelated fault on the same circuit is often the better clue to which component is dragging it down.
Typically an easy fix. Often worth checking before paying anyone to look.

1 of the 1 codes this can cause indicate a fault where continuing to drive risks damage or is unsafe. Which one you have matters more than the cause does — read the code's own page before deciding.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
