    12V health seem fine to me. By the way what’s the best value? I checked mine, i guess 11.something

    you need a reading after the car has been off overnight, with a voltmeter. what you're seeing there is the inverter voltage.

    Noooooo. The Gas range is disturbed after Battery negative terminal reinstalled. And it’s not showing the exact Number of Kilometres now.

    It looks like it has just moved one step further with the display button.
    Try cycling through it

    All or most of the codes are apparently about communication loss. Wiring? Connectors? Here's code descriptions:

    B15C1: Open in GPS Antenna:

    1. DCM (Telematics Transceiver)
    2. Wire harness or connector (Telephone and GPS antenna cord)
    3. Telephone and GPS antenna assembly

    U0073: Control Module Communication Bus OFF: CAN communication system

    U0100-211, 530 Lost Communication with ECM/PCM "A"

    The trouble shooting instruction in the Repair Manual are very complicated. If you want I can send you link. Techstream loaded on a laptop is mandatory I think.

    A first step you might do, is just look under the dash, say for botched wiring work, someone installing something incorrectly. Or rodent damage. Or corrosion on connectors.
