How is the battery and charging system? Low battery voltage can cause havoc like this.

What were the driving conditions or scenario when these warnings lit up ?

FYI. I would pull the codes and check. Not all codes light up the CEL on the 1st occurrence. You may have a stored or pending code.

I don't know the history of the battery, So that would be a good place to start

hen happened again this morning
does that mean immediately after the first start after sitting over night? Like a battery that got low enough from sitting that the starter dragged it down to less than 12 V?

What's interesting about that is a month or so ago I was getting "Check Charging System" and "Low Battery Mode" alerts at similar intervals. My battery was at 12.2 volts when I checked it. New battery, no more issues.

If it is your battery, watch what you buy. The one I replaced had one with an 18 month warranty. I lasted about 2 years.
