trouble code question?

i hooked my scangauge up tonight and ran a contribution test. after the test i got these codes: 0541,and 0284. What does that mean? i know the 0541 is the AHI delete. i am not sure i did the test right. have never done a CC test before. just pushed the button on the gauge and did what it said. Then i checked for any other code all i had was 0221,0238,and 0541. How can you get rid of the 0541? the other 2 are normal right?

P0541: Intake Air Heater A Circuit Low
P0284: Cylinder 8 Injector Circuit Contribution/Balance Fault
P0221: Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Swtch B Circuit Range/Performance Problem

0541 is the heater delete, 0284 is caused by the grey CPS, 0221 may be a throttle position sensor going bad. I'd be worried about that one.
