Also, the car runs fine. Just wanted to see if I can fix the source of the problem. I would hate to get stranded...

check battery for corrosion reset all codes. Look for water on floor and battery leaking on pcm. The one's with the c are the ones to be concerned about.

Thanks. I'll start there. What about the TAC module? Is this one of my problems?

Should I replace the fuel level sensor too? How much will this cost? I contacted Bob @ Fichtner Chevrolet and he has the TAC module for $207. My thinking is to replace both! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

All of your codes are followed by an "H" which means they are history codes and are no longer faulting, reset them and don't worry.

Now for the current fault p0461 and p0463, do you have fuel gauge problems?

what type of gas do you use?

BTW, the U1016H, U1064H and U1096H codes are extremely common and unless you are experiencing a specific problem with your RFA system, ignore all three. Lot's of folks here have had the same experience. I've experienced these three popping up from time to time for approx 5-6 years.
The advice regarding checking for water/moisture on your BCM is also good too. HTH
