    In case this happens to anyone else, here's my experience. I had just got an emissions test done and the next day these lights came on. I drove a few days without any problems with the truck, just the lights still on. I checked some posts on here to see what it could be. I did the gas cap thing and went to disconnect the battery to reset the codes. When I hooked the battery back up it was dead. Put a charger on it all night and nothing the next day. Jumped it, let it run for 15 min and the battery still wouldn't hold a charge. Battery was only 2.5 years old. It was under warranty, so got a new one for free and everything is good. Light have not come back on in 3 days, so the codes could've been something to do with the battery going bad.

    Yup, a dead or dying battery can cause random codes to come and go.
