    You surmising must have been correct in regards to the battery thinking a tire was still moving so it kept putting power out.

    Good reminder that whenever a new issue pops up, always consider the last repair/mod done to the car!

    It's possible that the vehicle believes that it's moving slightly. If you had a ABS sensor replaced. I have also noticed in my 2G that if you don't press the brake pedal down quite far enough once stopped that it will continue to try to creep forward and the arrows will show Power coming from the battery to the wheels. Even though the vehicle is stopped if you press the brake pedal down a little bit more than the car realizes you are not moving and not wanting to move and sees his trying to creep forward and putting power to the motor.
