3. Replaced both the battery and temp sensor and ran car for 30 min to get the temps up; no problems.

Thanks for all your insights. Just one more question...

Will the tire pressures reset themselves? They are all reading 0 psi.
If they all are, chances are that you just need to drive around awhile, and/or have a few ignition cycles for them to clear. They don't lose their programming when the battery is disconnected.

Your windows will need to be initialized (re-indexed), if the dealer or whoever worked on your car didn't do it for you.
