all codes are an indication of failures in systems. they all need to be checked by a shop for failures. identifying failures from code numbers never works without proper diagnostics. get a shop to check these for you to insure a safe trouble free trip.

P1381 –CYP intermittent interruption.
This is the code that can result in engine nonstarting and performance issues. It could be a loose or contaminated wire connector at the sensor. Highest priority on list you should be checking.

P1457 – Leak Detected In EVAP Control System. Not likely to cause any problelm other that emission. Could be due to a loose fuel cap.

P1738 - 2nd clutch pressure switch. Likely to cause shifting problem. Not to be taken lightly as it can result in transmission failure.
