    Well I finally got my tech stream to work and was able to get my codes. My wife was driving and she had a bunch of dash lights come on. I pulled the codes and this is what I found.

    Can't get the pic to load.

    The AC auto light, tire pressure and cruise was already on. The others come on with the beeper on constant.

    I haven't ever changed it and I have had the car for two years at the end of this month. All of this happened while in the drive thru. She has to shut the car off then turn it back on and all is fine. Its happened three times over the past few months.

    Would that cause codes like that?

    if it's not the 12 volt, it could be an ecm, transaxle, trouble.

    i'd check the battery, brake fluid level, etc, first.

    Did this same fault occur three times at the drive in? If it did what state was the car in when it occurred. Ready in park, ready in neutral, or accessory mode? "Two pushes of the start button without touching the brake . Or just one push of the start button "no brake".

    No, it has happened three times over the course of a few months to my wife. It was in drive mode every time; I know it has happened while she was accelerating from a stop light twice but the third time I am not sure if she was accelerating in line at the drive thru or was sitting still when it happened. This is the only time an audible alarm has accompanied the lights though.

    Update... it finally died and had to be towed home a week and a half ago. 12v battery would drop below 10v and would basically shut the car down. I replaced it with a yellow top optima and all was well until tonight. I have started a new thread detailing the new codes. Sorry for the late update but with Christmas its been hectic.

    Thanks again for the help

    Heres a link to the new thread if interested.
