No start. Stuck in park.
A couple of traction control lights came on while in neutral on the conveyor at the car wash. Then, while driving 45 miles later, multiple lights and warnings came on. They include park brake malfunction, SRS malfunction and don't shift gears. Pulled over, and put car in park and shut off engine.
After some time, it didn't crank over. Just lights and warnings. The "P" didn't have the usual white boarder around it at start up. Tried to scan the CEL for codes but it wouldn't communicate.
Trickle charged the battery to full overnight, but same no crank/starts problem. Battery tester said "bad battery". Replaced both batteries with new. No difference.
Still couldn't communicate to the CEL with scanner (iCarsoft) but the scanner would communicate with the ignition where several codes came up including u103211 "no signal to ground" and other bus codes.
Thoughts?

SOLVED: thanks to a post somewhere that said that Keyless Go and the push button start doesn't work after you install new batteries, unless you supply aux power (which I did not). It started up with the key. Drove fine. CEL is on and will scan shortly.
