What state is your battery in?  Well known fault code when the battery is failing/poorly charged.  Lots of posts about this on here.

Oh and :hi:

if the battery is low or not in a good condition, then all sorts of warnings will pop up - not necessarily in any predictable order, and appear or vary car by car.

I had transmission warnings pop up when the lights were switched on.....

I've also noticed that the general wiring is "just" capable of the loads imposed on it, and therefor can throw warnings at the slightest load situation.

I replaced my battery with a 1,000 crank Amp cell, and this helped significantly...

Also, the alternator packed up shortly after.... so get these checked at your local motor store...

The battery when engine running should read approx. 13.8 volts +/- 0.3v 
and
read approx. 12 volts when engine is not running/charging.

Hope this helps
