Default reduced engine power/traction control

I started the car up just like I normally do and I got the message. Traction control failure and reduced engine power. Turned it off and turned it back on and it was fine but I still had the check engine light. Pulled the codes and this is what I got.

They are ALL history DTCs Clear them and then see if any come back. Those will be the ones to concentrate on.

Are SURE that there are no other symptoms that are happening that your not seeing? I don't see any real pin point issue and it sounds like the codes are just random. Clear the DTC a few times and see if you can come up with the ones that continue to set.

Hows your battery??? Make sure that its fully charged and properly operating.

Examine your battery voltage engine off and running

My battery is brand new I dont see how it could be bad? I had it checked a little while ago and it was fine. It happened once then I took the car to the store and never got the traction messege or the engine messege.

FYI

A loose or MISSING fuel cap will only set a minor emissions DTC and that DTC will have NOTHING to do with dirveability or the engine running correctly

Went to the dealership and they wanted 129 dollars just to see what the codes were. They think it could have just been a little bit of bad gas. I am going to drive it and see if the same problem occurs again.

Maybe that happens to you.
My experience just 10 days ago I had the reduced power and
every light on my dash was lit up. The car ran like on 2 cylinders
very rough and the check engine light was glowing----
I tightened up my gas cap and all is well.
