Codes, but then if it's a module issue, 97s to 2000s are not repairable.
You'll probably have to live with it as is unless you fork out the $$$$$ for a used one that you really do not know how long it will live. Last I was quoted for one of these was $2k.
There are no new stock modules available for C5s. Cross your fingers and hope that it's not that. That would be great news for you.

When I bought my 1999 used in 2003 I got those messages once in a while.

Later found out someone before me put a lesser battery in car, lower cold cranking amps and reserve capacity, got correct battery and never got those codes again.

Can you tell us what battery you have in it, cca RC etc?

Just a guess but what if you think you are doomed and just have the wrong battery?

Also is the battery healthy, maybe have it load tested.

Worth looking into before going deeper.
