Hey Peeps! So after 2 years of abuse (Extreme temperatures, being drained during testing at work, etc) my OE battery started showing signs of needing to be replaced. The more interesting one was the EPB Shift Interlock Function Activated Notification. It started of quickly flashing at start and I couldn't even make out what it said. But this winter when the temps started dropping, it started staying on for a little longer and i was even able to snap a pic

Not only that, It started to struggle a tad to start. So I decided it was time for a new battery and I wanted to see if the message was indeed tied to the battery not being as young as it used to be ( Im sure some can relate). I wanted to go AGM, but i didn't want to go as extreme as the Odyssey I'm running in the Tundra. I was about to pull the trigger on a Duracell AGM when I noticed Walmart's Battery, made by Johnson Controls, offered a "Platinum" AGM. Not only was it the cheapest option ( 169 USD) but it had a 4 year warranty vs the 3 the others offered.
We'll see how it holds up, but as soon as i changed it the message no longer popped up! Score!
