The B3883 indicates a problem detected in the circuit for the license plate light. There's a subcode that details the fault. Odds are, it just means you have LED lights installed and it's causing a false "open circuit" fault. I would suggest replacing those bulbs with a ordinary bulb and see if the code goes away. I doubt if it's the main problem, but it will keep anyone from chasing a red herring from a code that's not part of the problem. If the code remains after resetting and changing the bulbs, then maybe you need to take a closer look at that.
I'm not sure what's causing the problem. I'm tempted to say that it's the dashboard sensor or the wiring to it. This isn't a problem I've seen reported on the forum before. My shop manual seems to indicate that the dashboard sensor just pops out. Nothing to disassemble.
