sounds like a coincidence really, did you check your fluid level? no fluid = no go

almost sounds like a harness was pulled.
but try this ..
disconnect battery for 15 to 30 minutes, reboot computers and lets see what you got then.
if still the same, get us the codes.

i tried and no luck there was a vaccum hose disconnected with a beat up hose on it i replaced it on and still no luck i get code 1039 if i remember correctly but lookin at an old thread i guess it could be the brake switch... i remember hearing a strange clicking sound when i hit the brakes last time i was in it.
