Here is what the codes mean,

P2104 - Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Idle:

P0708 - Transmission Range Sensor Circuit High Input:

P2131 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'F' Circuit Low:

P2126 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'E' Circuit:

P2121 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'D' Circuit:

P1702 - Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Intermittent:

So these codes for the safe mode I would replace the throttle actuator and the throttle pedal sensor assembly. Please start a new thread for the Transmission Range Sensor problems because we only handle one problem per thread, here is how to change the parts out in the images below. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know what happens.
