Yesterday my 2011 Nissan Xterra pro-4x needed a jump start; although I didn’t leave a light on or anything pulling power from a 12v outlet. I jumped it. But probably should of let my jump starter charge the battery a bit then disconnecting it instead of hooking it up then starting the car right away (I was tired and acted like i was in a hurry). After driving a for a bit my emergency brake, ABS, VCC, and slip lights turned on while driving at 50-60 MPH. I checked if there were any trouble codes (there were none). Also when i restart the car the lights go away until i go 50-60 MPH. Could I have screwed up the electronics? And why would my car need a jumping if there was nothing draining it? I will upload a photo of my dash with the warning lights when I get the chance.

That can happen if the battery is dying. Low voltage can cause weird behavior. Do you have a multimeter to read the voltage while the car is running? If not is there a parts store you can take it to that tests the battery for free?
Was it colder recently? That would also point to a dying battery as they hate the cold.
It was a bad battery. I didn’t realize how old it is (it had a date from 2021). I got it replaced at autozone. I got a lot of places to be tomorrow.
