Default .....

18010 = low power .. usually from pulling the ECU or the battery
17951=throttle actuator potentiometer signal too low . .check throttle drive and angle sensor
16795= seconadary air injection incorrect flow .. usually a leak in a vac hose

Default Did you try a throttle adaption?

I would clear the codes now and see if either come back. If they do let the dealer 'discover and repair' them. Between now and Monday you should make sure you do 5 or 6 starts from cold to fully warm. That should set all the ready codes.
Many things will set the low power code:leaving a user on long enough to drain the battery and necessitating a jump start; Pulling the power before an extended storage, etc, etc.
