Default service soon/reduced engine power

Just pulled out of a parking lot, the radio went off and I got Service Soon and Reduced Engine Power also ABS and Traction Control lights on. Turned off, pulled key and started again.... all ok. Checked for codes whole bunch of communication codes plus P1626 Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable CKT.

What's that all about? Any ideas? Thanks.

The very first thing that I would check are the battery cablesTake both of them off, clean them, spray them out with WD-40 and reinstall. Torque them down to 11 ft/lbs

Thanks Bill. I wondered about that because I changed to an Optima Red top about three weeks ago.
