The codes should be 2 digit numbers. Are you sure that you are reading them correctly?

Code 30 - ISC RPM out of range

Code 52 - PCM Memory Reset

1.8.8 indicates the start of diagnostics

7.0 indicates the end of the diagnostics

I understand, and I can solve these two Codes?
The memory must be reset? , As the reset?
These two error codes mean a serious problem in car?

I don't feel they are too serious. If the battery has been disconnected, it could set the one memory code. The idle speed control (ISC) solenoid may be bad with the other code.
