No Start/long cranking/dash light issues
Friends 01 has the following: Long cranking b/4 start sometimes, other times just clicks like a dead battery. When it does fire up, "low power", Service ABS and Active Handling lights up on dash including the Check Engine Light.
Thought bad battery and replaced it and it still has the same indications. Suspected grounds but they all look good and the terminals within the plugs (Grd) are clean and no corrosion.
Any ideas?

A couple of possibilities:
1) Was old battery leaking? Any damage under battery from acid?
2. Try putting in nuetral to start, the park start switch could be out of position/bad.
3) Are terminals on the starter tight?
Have him pull codes and list them here.
