LoL... u know I'm just kidding. Kinda sounds like what my SS was doing a few years ago. Have you ever adjusted the steering wheel when the car is on? That causes the PCM to go stark raving mad and throw every DIC indicator known to man.

Honestly, they only real fix is to have the dealer replace the PCM. Not worth the $$ if ur not under warranty, IMO. I just disconnected my battery for 5 mins and then reconnected. CEL was gone and all the gauges went back to normal. Only fix I've found so far. I've learned to adjust my steering tilt before I turn the car on now, lol.
