I understand, but there has to be a reason to start this all of a sudden, and to start pulling codes.

New expert here my name is\*\*\*\*\* fault codes you have listed are all engine related codes and in no way effect the operation of the transmission. As your previous suggested, removing the pan and doing a visual inspection is in your best interest in this situation. Based on your description I actually believe you have an internal problem with the trans that is going to mean you are looking at replacement or rebuild, unfortunately.
I hope you found this information helpful. Please let me know if you need additional information regarding this problem. Thanks.
