SOS! Bunch of problem messages on the dash.

[xaviersayys]

So I was driving home on this highway, and on this part of it that is a very long turn. The person in front of me braked out of nowhere and so I had to (I had a good distance between us but they braked so suddenly I panicked and braked right away too). I started to swerve just a bit and the traction control light started flashing, but because the nature of the highway, and since there were no shoulders, I couldn’t slow down or straighten out so I kept driving with it on. Then a few seconds later I get all of these problem messages on the dash, and they stayed on for a few minutes. Once I pulled off the highway I parked, turned the car off, waited a few moments and then turned the car back on and the messages disappeared.
I only drove two blocks before I got home but it felt alright. I may drive somewhere after I finish working to see how it feels and if the messages pop up again, but now I’m just paranoid I messed Up my car.
Anyone have any ideas of what happened and if my car is alright?

Basically the ECU was in panic mode cuz it thought you were genuinely gonna hit something. I done something similar when I was doing 60mph and came upon a red light with several stopped cars, the car panicked and lit up like yours

It happened to me before, I just started the car up and the dash started going haywire for no apparent reason. Happened to my co worker as well. It went away on its own. Never heard of an ecu going into "panic mode". That sounds made up.

This seems like potentially another weak battery strikes again.

Your panic braking - assuming the clutch was not in, could very well have temporarily killed the engine. (Car is in gear and your braking literally stops the front wheels momentarily and stalls the engine.) As soon as you let off the brakes... clutch still engaged, the turning of the front wheels essentially bump-starts the engine back into life. However, there was no key-off, key-on sequence so the ECU has likely not completed an ignition-on sequence...... and is very confused.

All very interesting but doesn't apply since the OP has a 2017 EX-T CVT.
