I let the car rest for a couple seconds and restarted it. The 4x4 light was gone so I started driving but the electronics flickered again and 4x4 light went on again. The LCD also said, "4x4/DSC inactive". I continued to drive and there was no shuddering but the electronics shut-down again for a second. This has happened once every 4-5 days already and at least one of the issues I mentioned above if not all of them happen. All the issues happened soon after I put a new battery in the car. The battery is a Rayovac from Batteries +. I took it to my mechanic and he thinks that it could be the battery or alternator. Enclosed are the codes he pulled. What do you guys think?
