Sounds normal to me, otherwise the car would have struggled to start no?
Also the brake tail lights were on immediately (after ignition to 1) and same for the dimmed airbag light. The related 5A fuse #9 is ok.
Yellow (!) and trans fail message came around 30secs after startup.
Also very strange ODB disconnection when scanning & none of the wipers / washers working.  |
A healthy battery is over 12 volts. You have almost a dead battery. Either you have a parasitic draw on the battery or your battery is on the way out. You can get the battery tested at most car parts stores such as Pep Girl, Retard Auto, or O'Really. They will load test the battery to see the condition instead of just testing the voltage, sort of like a stress test.

As for the parasitic draw, you can use an "Amp Hound" to help locate the parasitic draw or just bring it to a tech.
