Default Gauges went nuts, truck entered limp mode

I was tootling along in my 2010 F150 Platinum, with 102k miles on it, when all of a sudden my gauges went nuts, my status display cycled through "low fuel," "anti-skid," and "wrench" indicators, then went into limp mode with check engine light. Codes U0100 and U0101 were spit out on my code reader. Disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes clears it all out, and I can drive another 2 to 5 miles before it all goes haywire again.

Anyone encounter this before, or have recommendations for troubleshooting? Thanks in advance.

The bulkhead connector was leaking fluid on the connector, which might have been disrupting communication with onboard computer. The dealership also changed the battery, so...? ;-)

Thank You both for the response. My battery looks good. Im assuming it has something to do with my bulkhead connector and wires going to it as i just replaced it because it was leaking. Im hoping my tcm isnt bad which is inside the tranny and part of the mechatronic unit.
