When the battery in my 2008 4.8 died and i jumped/charged it and re-started i got all the warning lights/system failures as well....all reset after next start up...eventually solved my "high Battery discharge" and constant dead battery after washing and vacuuming (god forbid i leave the door open too long!) by getting a new AGM battery (warranty).

We drove it a few miles last night out to dinner. I backed in to park just in case I had to get another jump. No problems then. This AM I started it again and no problems starting again, but the warning lights are still on, along with the dash lights.

Why would the moon roof flip open with this warning also?

BTW, I have an appt with the dealer tomorrow AM. I'll request a new battery, which is still under warranty!

Very strange...I would think it was the vacuuming and cleaning that killed the battery, exactly my initial scenario....my car was happy to tell the dealership that I didn't drive it enough and that i had left the doors open too long over the weekend!

Depending on vehicle year i think there was a TSB/SIB about the battery...do a search here and maybe you'll find it..
