Default BUS error code. Need help with specific codes

Ok so here it goes. I have a 2012 Fatboy Lo. Washed it the other day and everything was fine. The next day I went to go go ride and got a BUS error code. The bike will start but I have to be sitting on it with it straight up in gear with the clutched pulled in. It seems to happen every once in a while. I did some searching on here and found the way to get the specific codes. I couldn’t find any of them on the list other members have listed. I am really hoping I don’t have to take it to the dealership to fix the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the codes I got:
U0001
U0140
U0141
U0142
U0156
B1151
B2113
B2138
B2173
B2176
B2271

Lot's of codes!!! Something is shorted, perhaps by water in the system.

Isn't one reason you bought new is for the warranty? Take to the dealer and have them take care of it. That's what you paid for.

Yeah that's true but I know how they are and don't want them screwing me over.

Default 2013 Fatboy Lo trouble code - doesnt start

I am having a similar problem:
2013 Fatboy Lo.
Replaced battery and there is power but when I turn the Run button on, I can hear the fuel pump prime but nothing else after. Doesnt turn over.
Got the same code for All except ABS (which had no code). The rest all said " U1040" followed by Pn 01118--01.
I hope that anyone that can help will jump in as I REALLY dont want to bring it to a dealer during prime riding time in NJ
Thanks,
Marc
