Default Just got a GS400 and have a Total of 7 CEL codes

I just got a gs400 for the wife. The guy i recieved it from swore it "only" had a CEL for a "Knock Sensor bank 2" . Today i decided to buy an OBD2 reader and just see what the code was. Well the Diagnostics showed 7 codes

p0115-Engine Coolant temperature Sensor 1
p0125-Insufficient coolant temperature for closed loop fuel control
p0330-Knock Sensor 2 Curcuit bank 2
p0715-Input/turbine speed sensor A circuit
p0763-Shift Solenoid C electrical
p1349-VVT system malfunction Bank 1
p1656-OCV Circuit Malfunction Bank 1

Now reading the other posts i saw that some of these sensors cause others to trip/trigger. The shift solenoid C i think i have figured out from reading the posts. Have any of you had any experience with any of the others?

Check your coolant level maybe it's low due to a leak, on the ocv valve code take out the sensor and make sure it's not clogged, clean it up and make sure it moves freely. I rec. you disconnect the battery to reset the ecu and drive the car and recheck for codes.

sometimes it's better to just move on. maybe the next one will be even nicer and a better car over all.
