Hello, if the dash reading started to vary and malfunction, I am wondering about the electrical system of the vehicle. I am also wondering if perhaps the drive belt has come off, which would explain the loss of engine cooling (water pump not turning) and also the alternator not turning (charging system). This is a total guess but one that could make sense on the surface, not knowing your vehicle personally. I would check there first. Beyond that, some hands on inspection is needed by a professional near you. Use this link to find some shops near you that can help with your concern: www.repairpal.com/repair-shops

Those codes all pertain to transmission operation. My gut at this point is that you have a significant transmission concern that requires some checking into. It's possible even that something internally is binding causing the engine to stall as a result. I'm sorry to say that there's nothing easy or resolvable here at home, based on the information you are sharing..
Thank you so much for your time I appreciate you for responding again. I had a feeling this might take a lot more money than it's probably worth. 😣
