Cause
Engine overheating
The engine genuinely running above its design temperature, which is recorded as a cause because it produces codes that name other things entirely. Detonation is the clearest example: hot combustion chambers ignite the mixture early, the knock sensors hear it, and the codes name knock on several cylinders while the fault is temperature.
Heat also changes what other sensors report. Intake air heated by a hot engine bay, oxygen sensors outside their calibrated window, and oil thinned beyond its rated viscosity all produce plausible readings that are not what the module assumes. So a cluster of unrelated-looking codes appearing together on a hot engine is usually one fault.
Treat the temperature as the finding and work backwards. Coolant level, circulation, the thermostat, the fans, the radiator's airflow and the head gasket are the routes, roughly in that order of likelihood. A temperature gauge is a poor instrument for this — many are damped to sit steady across a wide band — so read the actual coolant temperature in live data, where a genuine problem is obvious and a gauge shows nothing.
Typically a moderate job.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
