I'd disconnect the pos lead on the battery and clear the codes. These codes don't seem to have any correlation to one another. I'd blame a computer voltage anomaly, or some static electricity, etc. Clear the codes and drive carefully. See what happens.

On second thought, you don't suppose these are all wires contained in a multiplug connector that's come unplugged?

yeah, great advice...clear the codes and act like nothing is wrong...thats what I do! ROFL
but seriously, I wouldnt just ignore the codes, I would follow the TSRM and see what course of action is recommended for solving the issue that threw the code...but hey, maybe thats just me.
