You could get a partial list by going down the JTIS codes list but why on earth would you? Just read the codes - far faster.

There are also conditions where it has to defend itself from bad sensors, maybe bad voltage (too low), and can't even figure out a code to throw, not helped if an owner wildly clears codes.

Before clearing codes carefully note them and I'd also note the freeze frame data since it may be the only chance to do it. Most codes come back but with a car in distress they may not.

BTW the single biggest cause of weirdness by far is a failing battery. Also one of the cheapest DIY fixes.

I've moved your post to its own thread vice leaving it at the tail end of the Handbook Downloads thread where it will get lost.
