    So, I finally got around to swapping my brakes today. For reference, I've had the "Service Parking Brake" light on for quite some time, but it has not affected function of the vehicle aside from the cruise control not working (obnoxious, but usable). Front rotors, all 4 pads. Added some spacers and rotated the tires while I was at it. Of course, had to put the parking brake into "Service Mode" to fully get the rear pistons off and reset.

    Went to turn the car back on and the dash has lit up every light. I have:
    Service Parking Brake (Already had it so not really surprised)
    Service Airbag System

    Then went to start the car and got this:
    Coolant Temp High
    *incessant dinging*
    *clicking* (no start)
    4WD SERV
    4WD Unavailable
    Service Airbag System
    Power Steering Actuator Fail

    I am at a complete loss. What on earth happened? Anyone seen anything like this?
    Thanks,
    Platinum

    Not a clue other than how is your battery?

    If you're getting clicking, but no start, the battery is probably low. Everything in a modern car goes kinda nuts when the battery gets low :(. Put a charge on the battery, and I'll bet everything will be good again. Depending on the age of the battery, it might be time for a replacement.

    I'll give it a shot. Honestly wouldn't know. Though, if it hasn't been replaced, it's a 2015, so it would be time for a new one.

    Update: charged battery on a tender all morning, removed teh battery around 1100 and let it charge inside the house. Replaced battery somewhere around 1300 and it started up just fine. Looks like the battery is a little over a year old, so shouldn't be a "low battery" issue, but perhaps it discharged enough while I was working to be an issue. Brakes bedded in, wheels torqued and it drives just fine. It appears the spacers do push the tires into the plastic a bit, so will need to move the pinch weld in the very near future. Though given the evidence and research done already on this forum and others, I knew this was pretty much a guarantee. May just remove the spacers in the front until I can get around to it.
