ya no big deal you prob. just activated the self distruct program by mistake LMAO. But seriously you prob. got something wet and it triggered all the sensors for a few seconds I wouldn't worry about it unless it keeps occuring.

Mine did that randomly for a week and a half - no codes were saved from the events. Stopped abruptly last Saturday.

Right - except I have a red top. And there are NO stored codes on any any event.

My events start 3 - 30 minutes after I've been driving, and 5 have been when I have been traveling in a west to east direction, one on an east to west, and one on a north to south - would think a battery problem would show itself at wake-up.

I have intermittent lighting on my speedo between 40 and 80 also and 1 no radio amp.

I personally wonder if either my IP or BCM is damaged from the accident.
