You seem to have been overlooked. You need to download the factory service manual and then see the file named Auto Trans Diagnosis.pdf for explanations of the codes and further testing procedures. The manual is here:

The big one is the 1-2-2 which is an open circuit on the S1 shift solenoid. Code 3-2-5 doesn't appear as a valid code. The other codes, 2-3-2 is a bad or missing VSS signal and 2-3-1 is a erratic throttle position signal. Those can be dealt with after the car is moving again if they are real.
