Bad battery connectors

My Acura gave me the codes p2185, and p1172. I just had the battery checked and I know it’s going out and the negative terminal will not stay tight. I’ll have to get it replaced. Would the terminal disconnecting and the battery dieing cause those codes? Either way I’m getting a new battery today but I was hoping someone could tell me it’s a possibility. Have a paid for vacation Thursday and this is just my luck lol.

Replace the neg. batt. cable and see if things improve with the new battery replacement.
Batt. connections should always be secure to avoid electrical anomalies.
Cable below is for 04-06 TL

Those two are unlikely to be related...but....bad power causes unexpected bad behaviors.
