It is possible that it is a faulty control unit but each of these tests are asking you to clear the codes. Then check for other codes which you do not have and if not then you need to check for a loose connection at the MICU.

I would remove all the connection from the fuse box under the left side of the dash (the MICU is part of this) and then reconnect them. Clearly you should do this with the key off.

If the codes do not clear or return again then it says to replace the MICU.

Please see an example of this below. Please run through this and let us know what you find. Thanks
