So my ST just started throwing multiple messages in my dash related to traction control, hill assist, collision alert and couple others. Anyone else experience this? 2021 ST.
Thanks!

you need to run a diagnostic in order to get to the bottom of this. Could be a few different things.

Could be as simple as a bad battery or worse. Codes would help immensely.

AWD module needs to be grounded, there was a recall on it.

I've had this 3 times: first it was the half-shaft speed sensor, second time was the FADA TSB, third was the AWD module. All of them were under warranty.

Another thing to consider is if rodents chewed through some critical wiring under the hood overnight. I've heard of others getting a dashboard lightshow out of the blue when the day before everything was normal only to discover some rat ate a wiring harness. Good luck.

You either have to get it scanned (Auto parts store do it for free, or buy an OB2 dongle + app) or take it to the dealer. Those lights can come on for a few reasons.

My 21 did the same thing and turned out the battery was going tested at 11.5-12 volts. Put a new battery in and it fixed the issue.
