Most of those are Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor codes, but some of the others are other things.

Did you short something out in your car while working on an electrical component.... or was the car possibly even hit by a bolt of lighting arcing off of a nearby tree or something of that nature(that you're aware of... of course)?

I would recommend downloading the factory service manual for your car and going through some of their troubleshooting procedures for the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor. You can get it at numerous places on the internet for free in PDF format. It's a very useful tool.

 

no actually my car spun out and hit a tree on my read passenger side...broke my axle and smashed myquarter panel...got all the parts installed and the body work is almost done but it sitting in limp mode...warranty is gone so i didnt wanna get raped by goin to the dealer..trying to find out what it is..

 

punch those codes into google...you're almost guaranteed to get a result for all of them

i'm pretty sure they're all generic codes...manufacturer specific ones are higher numbers? can't remember

 

anyone got any of these codes before??

 

P2122 - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor
P2138 - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor
P1229 - Sensor Power Supply
P0550 - Power Steering Pressure Sensor
P0452 - EVAP System Pressure Sensor
P2122 - Already asked

If fixed properly, the body shop should be able to reset the codes.

Clearing Codes

If using a scan tool, follow tool manufacturer’s instructions to clear Codes.

Using a small screwdriver to turn the diagnostic mode selector switch, located on the side of the ECM/ECU, fully clockwise. After waiting two seconds, rotate the switch to the full counterclockwise position. The diagnosis will end and memory will then be cleared.

Disconnect the car battery for at least 24 hours.

 

i tried resetting by dis. the battery for 24 hours...still no luck it's still sitting in limp mode..im not quite sure what exactly what these code means...ok so it says that its a sensor power supply meaning what? i have to replace it?? like it lists a few sensors..are they all bad?

 

^ All of those issues should've been taken care by the body shop and not the consumer. You have to reset the code(s) using a OBDII reader/scan. Reading on OBD-Codes.com, you can reset a "Check Engine" light by this:
