Diagnosis sought from the hive mind:

2014 Rex (130k)

Driving home a few weeks ago the Rex turned on and was functioning normally for 15 mins, then suddenly (at 65mph) I'm kicked into neutral and get the dreaded "drivetrain: stop carefully" warning. And now I have an intermittent CEL (check engine light). I nursed it home by getting the Rex to start via the emissions testing mode.

I've continued to drive it and have been able to confirm that it will do this every time, however if I manually activate the Rex (via programmed radio key) before it reaches minimum battery level it operates without issue.

Summary: when the battery reaches minimum level where the factory programming would activate Rex it error's out, starting Rex before minimum battery level mitigates issue.

When I got the drivetrain error I saw these codes:

U1848

P0B3C

U0100

P1B2C

P1C79

P1AD1

P1E4B

Now I have these:

P0480

P14FA

P0480

Where to begin? Thanks for your thoughts...
