Since both of these cells are on, you may not want to drive it much and get it to a dealership ASAP.

If you don't know the reason for the CEL then take it to the dealer. That's what the warranty is for. If they have to keep it any length of time ask for a loaner car.

The manual will also tell you what every cell means along. You should spend some time reading the manual. It will tell you a lot about the car you may not know about.
