Default DIC error messages gone

OK, so for the longest time I have had several error messages that cycle through on my DIC (service traction control, tire pressure sensor indicator, brake fluid level, etc.) I recently took it in to the local quicky lube place for an oil change and now all of those messages and lights are gone. Did they clear these messages somehow or is it just a coincidence that they cleared?

Most likely just a coincidence. Maybe they will stay off.
Did you clear them when they came up, and would they come back in?

With that many error messages, it's usually an electrical connector (usually under the passenger footwell) that gets moved if someone sitting in the passenger seat pushes hard against the board that fits atop where the fuse box is. Some people put a spacer so the board can't hit the connectors.

The other cause is a weak battery.

yes, I would try to clear them in the past but they would immediately come back on. Very weird. Not the battery..its brand new.
