Default Battery Question

I woke up yesterday morning and my battery was totally dead.2020 with 19,000 miles. I swapped mine for a new battery at the dealer. It started right up but 2 messages pop up. First says service parking brake, other says service transmission now unable to shift soon. Cars seams ok, anyone have this happen?

A low battery will cause some sensors to give false info to the ECU. If it runs fine now, the CEL should be out or go out soon.

Dealer cleared the codes and all back fine. It was due to a low voltage drop...

I have this to read codes and clear the CEL for all our cars. Plus, it provide a broad array of information to my iPhone including temps, air fuel ratios, fuel trims, etc. the average code reader doesn’t.

Well, geez... I'd hope the dealer who ripped ya off for the battery would at the least clear the bogus codes for you. Glad to hear you're fixed up. Batteries are very unpredictable, even "identical" ones in identical vehicles. All the best.
