Unfortunately, you have an electrical issue most likely. If you are getting this code then it is telling you that the 5 volt reference voltage that the main engine sensors use to measure what they need to measure, When this voltage is not correct then the sensors cannot send a proper signal to the PCM so that it can run the engine properly.
If is probably not related to the 160 degree engine temperature because that is not even to proper operating temperature yet. Normal operating temp is between 185-205 degrees.
If you are only driving a few miles then it probably is not even getting to operating temperature so again I suspect this is an electrical issue.
The best way to figure this out is as it states in the attachments to disconnect the sensors mentioned one at a time to see when the issue goes away. However, this is to be done with a scan tool hooked up and see when the other sensors read okay when the problem sensor or wiring is disconnected.
If you only need to make it a few more months, you may want to look at some other options rather than sinking money into this vehicle.
Let me know if I can help with talking about those options or if you want to dig further into this issue. If so, let me know what you find and we can go from there.
