Default multiple brake warning lights - RESOLVED

wife is out driving the 2017 XE 25T and texted me she was getting all of these warning lights. Thoughts? Won't be able to get in until Monday - could be battery failing or abs sensor - will try to get codes when she gets home.

so - wife made 1 more stop with the same warnings, got it home and I started the car with same warnings so shut off, checked battery voltage at 12.63 VDC. Hooked up to my scanner, restarted car and ran diagnostics - no codes found. I suspect battery needs replaced - it is original battery. Took to Advance Auto (less than a mile from house), and pulling out of my neighborhood - all warnings cleared. There were no codes found with their scanner and battery/electrical system scan shows battery needs charged. Will hook up my CTEK over night and see what tomorrow brings

2017 and it still has the OEM battery? I believe it reads 12.63 v but it has no more juice to run the electronics. I have a strong feeling OEM battery needs replacing. Mine is a 2018 I replaced mine with an Interstate Battery H7 AGM for $249. Any H7 AGM size will do same size as OEM. It had a click & no start but instead of charging it I replaced the battery. My intention was to save myself from being stranded and such.

yes - still original battery so definitely going to replace. Did you replace it yourself or have indie/dealer replace?

I replaced it myself. Very easy. Some say, go to the dealer to update the battery to their scanner but I never did. My XF took the battery without any issues to this date. I replaced it last fall.

May I add AAP has 4 year warranty on their Die Hard AGM batteries. You might to try it out. Last fall, there was a shortage of H7 AGM batteries but NTB back then has adequate supplies. But their batteries has only 2 year warranty

so spent the last 2 days on the CTEK when not driving it, and no issues. Contacted my indie and he had me drive it in so he could run a scan - initially came up with an intermittent right rear speed sensor so took it for a test drive and monitored the speed sensor with no issues. He rescanned when we got back to the shop and 0 codes found so at this point going to chalk it up to a flaky battery which I just replaced and he is going to send me an estimate for the sensor should it occur again. Going to call this issue resolved.
