Reboot is not a scanner option.... it is done by powering down the chassis.

Restart engine before scanning else with Key:ON/Engine:OFF the battery won't fare well supplying 30Amps for long.
well worth a shot to see if it even makes any difference. Plan on installing new batteries tomorrow and letting it do a reboot and will go from there. Seems like used modules for these cars are relatively affordable used as well, so if nothing else stands out, may try replacing one by one.

you'll need to code each module to the car as you go, I recall this was a pain for someone recently

Figured as much. Shouldn't be an issue.

Well, safe to say it had nothing to do with batteries… didn’t even prolong it or delay it. happened again this evening. Will scan again tomorrow, and then find some time to dig deeper into this.

Driving straight on 4 lane 55mph rd. Probably 30% throttle. Shifted from 6-7 in Comfort mode and boom, lost everything. Restart and drove home like nothing ever happened.
