bluetooth code reader picked up some oddities

I currently do not have any check engine lights, but i purchased a fixd bluetooth module, ran it on the gx and found these.

can anyone provide some insight as to what may be going on?

below ive linked a video with multiple cold starts in sub 35° temps, in it you can hear a wheezing when the engine comes on. has anyone heard anything like this and solved it?

I’m guessing a bad battery causing spurious issues

IMO: The first two look battery related and the second two.. "probably" are as well. I would reset the codes and see if any come back.

I believe most code readers can pull codes even if they didn’t meet the severity or frequency threshold to trigger a CEL. I’d reset them and check again.

I plugged in my FIXD about a month ago and I get the “low battery positive voltage” issue pop up. I just replaced the battery in November and have reset the code reader, unplug and plug back in, check the battery terminals, nothing works...
