Not good. Its very likely that you have bent some valves on one or both heads. Get a new belt and pulley kit, and install it. By hand, rotate the engine to ensure that NOTHING is jammed. Take the plugs out and do a compression test. If the readings are normal, put the plugs back and start. If not, pull nor or more heads, get them reconditioned nada install new head gaskets.

is the Check Engine Light on? many newer cars will illuminate several lights and disable systems if the ECU records a DTC.

I suspect that the tire is old and the steel belts are failing. Pull the wheel off and check the tire for cracks in the tread, any out of round or bulges. Get a new tire (or tires).

those are not codes those show that you didnt read instructions completely on the use of your scan tool those show that their are codes present depending on unit you either hit next or codes or enter rescan vehicle and continue to next page when those show up

No - bleeding can be done well statically. Use a bleed tool to help get it right. After complete - check vacuum lines to master cylinder for cracks or leaks.

The 2007 is very similar to the 2005, which has the DRL box behind the glove compartment, at the top center. It's clearly marked DRL.

Start with the simple stuff: is the exhaust system fully supported? Harder stuff: check for ... * loose rear suspension components (unlikely) * prop shaft U-joint wear (also unlikely) * rear transmission support blocks

It sounds like you over heated the engine and have damaged the head gasket. do not drive and have you car looked at more in detail to confirm the head gasket is indeed the problem
