Curious..!!
during this testing and changing have you removed the key from the ignition and walked away with it..?? This will let the computer reset and in some cases clear the screen. Sometimes it takes disconnecting the battery. You have covered what you can do further dps work will need dealer intervension...if you can start it and ryde around slowly this may unstick things but again take the key walk...

done that too...
Did the key walk a number of times...guess tomorrow I'll just fire it up and see if a ride around the block can fix my ills. What puzzles me is that there was no indication of a problem until I parked it, had a beer and went to bed. Maybe Spyders were meant to be ridden 24/7 without ever turning them off.

How old is the battery in the bike?
The DPS is the single-largest electrical draw on the bike.
If the battery can't stand the pain any more; it sometimes lets it's complaints be heard as DPS issues...

Those are torque sensor codes. If you're still getting the codes I suspect that is a true failure. Is the steering any different? Ie: harder to turn? Most likely the torque sensor has shorted to ground.

Still bad...
The battery is original but I thought about the drain and used my trickle charger to bring it up and left the charger on while starting to see if that would help, it didn't. I took the bike for a ride and the steering was very stiff so the DPS definitely wasn't working. Any clue what the DPS and permanent hi beams have in common?

Similar problem in March

I had a similar problem in March of this year and was preparing to take a trip from Fort Walton Beach, Fl to Key Largo, Fl.
I pulled the side covers and removed the battery(original on my 2010 RT SE5) cleaned all connections and the battery also. Put it back together with a little no ox and just like all the forum discussions said the problem magically went away.
As of this date all is still good !!!!!!!!!!
