I had my car serviced yesterday and forgot to unplug the solar panel.
The battery had been disconnected and during a test drive my UltraGauge could not find the OBDII signal. The car seemed to drive just as well, but one minute into the drive it threw a christmas tree of lights, alarms and warnings. The CVT control module had thrown an error which triggered all other systems to respond in style.
The dealer reset the codes and all was fine again.
I think the power from the solar panel kept some systems in zombie mode instead of properly shutting down, triggering error codes that threw off the rest.
Sure enough, since the reset no errors reappeared.
Lesson learned. Always unplug the panel before even coming near a dealership
