Start with pulling your codes and report all that you find and please include any H or C characters. Also, grab your driver's door accordian tube and give it a shake and see if the DIC returns to normal. There's a known condition of a wire in there that shorts to the frame.

If the DIC is that messed up, you may need to connect to the OBDII port with an external code checker. Try that accordian tube!!!
