HELP! brake stability and other lights and warnings all at once after starting car?

See the attached pics. All of the warning sand stability, brake and lights went off just after I started the car. I called my service advised who advised it might be low voltage because I don't drive the car enough??? I drive the car and it drives like shit and auto shifts into second. I drove the car 40 freeway miles which should be enough to charge it. I get it home, restart same lights. WTF???

i had this at the track after some testing on the skidpad. i thought my day was done. i just restarted several times and it cleared and went on with my afternoon sessions. sounds like you may have already tried that. possibly it will clear after going into full sleep mode.

I had something similar to this. It was traced back to a bad rear wheel bearing. You should take it in for service.

Hahha. Thanks guys it does sound like the throttle actuator. Can I drive it? I have a business appointment about 120 miles roundtrip? It says I can drive it moderately. Will it hurt anything?
