P0455 - EVAP System Large leak detected. Could be a loose fuel cap or a disconnected/ruptured EVAP hose.

P0606 - Control Module Internal Performance.

P0700 - An error has been detected in the transmission control system.

Seems like the transmission control module is faulty.

The codes are nothing to do with the VSS.

What is your transmission code?

I mean the transmission model. I had explained the trouble code to you. You need more diagnostics to find what is wrong but definitely they are not VSS codes.

P0341 and P0341 are codes concerning the camshaft position sensors. Either the timing belt was not installed correctly or the sensor (or its circuit) has a fault.

I can't find any reference to P0463. Can you reconfirm the code?
