So I was washing my car and played the radio with the engine off. I guess it was pretty long cause I lost track of time. I had a message pop up saying battery was low and it will recharge when car was started. Later that day I went to leave started the car and got a parking brake error message, a transmission malfunction message saying it was ok to drive but it wouldn't allow me to shift out of park. I had to hit override button to be able to shift out of park. My horn don't work and my rear view camera don't turn on, it also says my acc is unavailable. I checked all the fuses they are good. My guess is all these things can happen with a low battery. Should I just order a new one and call it a day?

If the battery died that fast when just messing with the radio. . . . . Time for a new battery is likely your next course of action. Batteries last 4 - 6 years. If your car is a 2012 - 2015 with the original battery then likely its time.

Yea I'll most likely recharge it and confirm that's the issue which it seems to be then replace it.

So I tested the battery and it showed it was fine. So I drove it for a few weeks to see if it would disappear on it's own. Any suggestions before I get it checked out? I scanned it today and had a ton of faults

I had a similar issue with a bunch of faults, made a post about it and a few said it could be a bad battery. The hard codes have cleared on their own and I did charge the battery.
With that said, if your battery is original, it could be the issue intermittently, which is causing all of the faults or soft codes.
