Getting multiple error codes need advice
I think my car has gremlins 🤔 o appreciate any thoughts.
while driving back from Virginia my ESP inoperative message and also pre-safe inoperative. A few minutes later my some light would come on and go off intermittently. About thirty minutes later i stopped at a convenience store. When i started the car back up, the fan motor starts whirring and the cars throws 3 more codes, SRS malfunction, cruise control inoperative and brake, ABS/BAS/ESP inoperative.
I pulled over and disconnected the battery. Reconnected all lights out. Drove home home with no fan issue or l
Errors other than and and pre-safe. When i got i. The car this morning fan started back on high and other errors popped up again
What i have done:
Checked battery (good)
Checked fuses (none blow)
Has to be electrical i would think, but out of things to try.

thank you for the input. Memorial day today so nothing open. Is there a way for me to check the alternator and also why would the battery be good if alternator not working. Doesn't the alternator keep the battery charged?

if the battery has charge then it's good, although idk if one thing is the charge and the other is if the battery itself is good or not regardless of the charge.
if it's a speed sensor then the ESP turns off the presafe, but why the lights be affected by that? Better hook a computer to it.

Update
I took the car to the meachanic,. On top of the issues i mentioned, the car also will not allow anyone to connect to the OBDII, so they are not able to pull codes. Verified same issue with different shop.
Any thoughts on how all these could be related?

You have been told already to go to the dealer or an indie with a DAS/STAR diagnostic computer. You are wasting your time with the battery, alternator and mechanics trying to hook up their $20 OBDII. Post your location maybe a nearby member with STAR can help you.

They found the issue the gateway module was corroded inside. We will see if it really fixed the problem in the next couple of driving days.
Thanks for everyone's help. Have to bring to dealership ped to get flashed.
