Turn the ignition key to on but do not start the engine. Press the warmer button(on the passenger side arrow up) and the off button at the same time and hold until the car goes through it's sequence. Write down all of the current codes and post back. :wrench

For your car, do the following. Have the key in the on or run position (engine can be running). To the right of the instruments, you will see three buttons. Hold in the on/off button, and the ^ button for about 5 seconds. This will cause the DIC to go into diagnostics. The dash will light up like a christmas tree, then go blank. Then it will ask you to run codes. Press the on/off button. It will ask if you want to run all codes. Press the on/off button. Write down the codes (especially if they are current, or history). If you want to clear them at the end, press and hold the on/off button. If you do not want to clear them, just turn the key off.

Oh yea, alot of them were under history

Do not concern yourself too much with history codes. They just mean that an issue came up, but isn't there any longer. The current codes that you posted I could not find in my FSM. Go to google, type in the code, and see what they mean. That is how I found some that my car has had in the past. Also, when you get codes, it is helpful to post which module it was for (PCM, MSM, IRC, etc).
