See above in BLUE.
The C2914 tells me that you must also have the AH/TC/ABS lights illuminated on the dash and that you also get messages in the DIC about servicing ABS, AH and TC.
This is a failure that can be repaired. To save me typing a lot of info I referr you to the following thread. You can start around post #13 since you know how to pull codes.

OK sorry,
B2607H and 2 new ones
U1160H
B2860H
Thanks
The other codes tell me that you either are experiencing or have recently had car battery problems. Low battery voltage on a C5 can cause lots of strange codes and issues. If your battery is low the car may still start but the electronics in the car are NOT going to be happy.
I would have the battery checked and fully charged and check the battery connections to insure they are clean, bright and tight.
Once the battery is KNOWN good the clear ALL the codes and take the car for a ride. When you return pull the codes again BEFORE you shut off the ignition. To pull codes with the engine running you MUST first use the reset button to clear ALL messages from the DIC and then you pull codes as normal.
Post back the codes that have returned, Those are the ones that need attention.....

Are these just codes you forgot to post or did you clear codes, take the car for a ride and then pull codes again???
Again I am thinking car battery issues.
Have you had the battery checked out???
Did you clear all codes, take the car for a nice ride and then pull codes again???

With all the same code coming back I'm guessing that you did NOT properly clear the codes. 
Watch this video carefully and it shows exactly how to clear codes:

While I can see the C1214 coming back I would NOT expect most of the others to return if the codes were cleared correctly..
Please make certain that you get ALL the codes cleared. One way to insure that has happened is to clear them and then shut the ignition off for a minute or two and then turn the key back to the ON position and pull codes again. You will likely still get the C1214 but should not get most of the others. Then take the car for a ride and when you get back pull the codes BEFORE shutting off the ignition.

OK that makes more sense now. THe C1214 is the EBCM. Look through the first link I posted in post #3 for the options you have for that problem. Basically 3 options:
1) Pull the EBCM and send it out for repair to any of several shops that specialize in replacing the power relay
2) Pull the EBCM and replace the relay yourself.
3) Buy a new EBCM and replace your failed one.
The two new B codes you have indicate that your car has the Climate Control version of HVAC and the actuator needs to be re-sync'ed. Here is a link to how to correct that problem:
