Jeep threw 5 extra codes while driving. Should I be worried or did the OBD have a stroke?

So while I was driving to see my father the other morning, the jeep threw 5 extra pending codes, besides her usual p0141 and p0837. Should I be worried, or did the computer just have a mini stroke? The codes cleared themselves and haven't appeared again and looking them up online lead to dead ends that made no sense.

looks like your kj got a case of coronavirus.

Is this torque?

Looks like a bunch of garbage to me. I would reset and see what happens.

I would also use a standalone OBD. Torque is good, but the programmer for that has been on his own for a long time, and he cannot possibly catch every issue with every vehicle/code not working correctly? Torque is great for sensor outputs and real time monitoring, but not so great at diagnostics and accurate trouble codes in my experience.

Yeah, Torque pro. It's usually pretty good for me. Those codes cleared themselves, and it's the only time it's ever happened, but I was just wondering if it was a symptom of something like the BCM starting to fail. I have a Harbor Freight OBDII(before they revamped the line) scanner for clearing codes.

The tablet is good for when I'm driving because I can watch the temps in real time and also it logs my location, so I qualify for Google Rewards Surveys, which I use to buy stuff in the Play Store. I also log all my codes and freeze frames w/screenshots and upload them to the cloud so I can show them to my mechanic if need be.
