Any time a lot of DTC codes are thrown the 1st thing to check are fuses. Confirm fuse F2.2 and F2.8 in the CJB (driver's kick panel).

The codes are basically calling out 3 of the 4 O2 sensors. IMO either there is a wiring fault or there is a huge exhaust leak.

Start first by inspecting the wiring harness pig tails. Look for evidence of melting from contact with hot exhaust or any other evidence of damage.

Today's cars simply can not run right with intake or exhaust leaks.
