Default need help!

Last night car was running kinda weird; getting on the highway it kinda hiccuped. I saw an amber light flash but it flashed too quickly to identify. Well this morning I ran the codes and was blown away by all this....

TCS: C1226 C1248 C1254 C1255 C1261 C1262 C1268 C1271 C1272 C1273 C1274

SDM: U1040

IPC: B0516 B0521 U 1040

HVAC: B0361 Bo441

These were all History codes withe the exception of the hVAC which were H & C. I reset everything and drove the car about 6 miles to work. As I was driving I got Service tire mon sys/service vehicle soon. When I got to work I rechecked the codes and got the following...

TCS: C1226

BCM: U1096

SDM U1096

Radio: U1096

HVAC: U1096 B0361 B0441

RFA: U1096

These were also showing as history codes.

Any ideas on what this is all about? The car is a 2002 vert with 123K miles.

Could this be a battery problem or do I need to start refinancing the house?

Sounds like a funky connection somewhere, passenger side accordian in the door would be my first place to investigate. Have you been doing anything under the hood recently??

You have a power issue BUT,,,,,,It most likely isnt the battery. You can check the battery and have it tested. Then properly torque it back in (11 ft/lbs.)

My guess is the ignition switch is starting to fail. That would be the very first thing that I would investigate. Heres a post for you.

Checking the door accordion tubes is something that you SHOULD do. Its a preventative step that will help you down the road. Those rubber tubes just POP OUT and back in so it easy.
