Not without a code, especially on an LNF could be a multitude of things.

Check the wiring to the hpfp. Its worth a check. There have been some. Including mine. That the wiring for the hpfp rubbed on the black metal bracket the wirong goes through. Causing the bare wires to froind out and my car went into engine power reduced mode. I taped the wires up and it hasnt happened again. That was two or three years ago. There was a thread on it back in the day. That may not be your problem. But it may be. Its worth a check.

I had that problem I don't remember a traction light though.

OP, could be a wheel speed sensor or as said, many many things.

First make sure your battery is good. ECU needs good voltage.

P0236 and P0238 are for MAP sensors usually. Clean them maybe.

P2261 is something in the Turbo bypass valve system. Check all of the hoses for the BPV system. All you could try to vacuum tank delete to see if that's the issue.

P0606 is computer related.

You have two options. Reflash the computer with the correct tune or replace the entire ECM (computer)

I'm in the process of doing the same. With that said you can order a new ECM from ZZP for cheaper than the dealer will charge you obviously. Install shouldn't be too hard. ECM from ZZP is about $400

Could these all be related. Maybe if there is a wiring or bad ECM problem.

If it is in fact the PCM you may still be within the Emissions warranty (8 years 80,000 miles).
