Angry Sport / Mode Flashing (Help!)

(2004 Disco II)

Driving home yesterday 'service engine light' came on. Few minutes later 'oil/battery light' came on then 'sport/mode' light came on flashing. Car completely died. Coasted to a gas station. After a few minutes she started back up. 10 minutes later did same thing again.

CPS? Appreciate the help.

Low battery voltage.
You need either a new battery or alternator or maybe even both.

That makes sense. It was the first time I had a GPS and my phone plugged in while making a long drive and it happened at the end of the drive.

I hope that is all it was.

The "M" and "S" lights flashing or coming on at the same time are a dead give away for low voltage.
Once the truck ran out of power everything just quit.

It was just the battery! Thanks for your help.

That's a damn dangerous way to find out that your battery needs replacing!

Normally you get more warning than you did.
Glad it all worked out.
