+1
It seems that anytime you get multiple, seemingly unrelated codes on these cars, best place to start troubleshooting is your battery. Lots of info on the Forum about battery health; click the link in my signature.

Maybe a drain that's affecting the battery in which case look for a drain...

Likely your battery. Put in on a charger for a few hours, and try it again... if it helps, you're going to have to replace the battery, or search for the drain...

Also, pics of your matte R!

This is a red flag. No lights should be lit when car is off. Sounds like a short somewhere in your brake light wiring but I'm no wiring or electrical expert. Obviously, given enough time, this would drain a battery to the point where the car starts throwing random codes I'd think.

Hopefully the electrical experts on the forum will chime in.
