You should remove the battery and take it to an auto parts store to have it properly load tested. It sounds to me like it's probably bad. The battery typically lasts only 4-5 years in these vehicles. Computers cause weird anomalies when they don't have enough power to properly function.

I think those are false trouble codes due to the bad battery. I would only take them seriously if the battery tests good.

I took the time to lookup the definition for each of those trouble codes you posted. I may have been too quick to dismiss their validity.

P0455 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak
C0550 - Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) Fault
U0102 - Lost Communication With Transfer Case Control Module
U0131 - Lost Communication With Power Steering Control Module
U2105 - Loss Communication with UART System
U2106 - Lost Communications With Transmission Control System
U2107 - Lost Communications With Body Control System
U2142 - Lost Communication With Yaw Rate Sensor (YRS)
U2143 - Lost Communications With Steering Angle Sensor (SAS)

All of these (except P0455) could be caused by a bad Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), a blown fuse, or a fault in the harness going to the EBCM. The EBCM is located under the hood, in the driver’s side rear corner of the engine compartment, just below and to the right of the Brake Master Cylinder.

Check any fuses that are related to the EBCM/ABS/ESC in the underhood fuse panel. If they all check good, I would inspect the plug at the EBCM. The EBCM could be bad, but check the little things first.
