the time is in Australia, where forklift action's servers are.
I am pretty sure you will need to change the dash panel to get it to drive correctly again, although this may be that you are getting water and dirt into the obd2 connector causing the shorts that caused the relays and now the dash panel to have a problem.
does it drive now?

this is an indication that the dash panel, and the ecm are not communicating properly with the VCM, as would happen if the can bus were broken. this can be a disconnection or it can be the dash panel itself.
are there any symptoms?
does it drive? does it run? does it work fine except it shows these codes when you first turn on the key (but they go away when it is running? have you tried to clear the codes?

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
