Complete Malfunction of all Safety Systems
My 2013 Explorer just surpassed 39K miles. Turned off the engine and when I restarted 10 minutes later, the dashboard was full of warnings.
Collision Malfunction Failure
Brake System Failure
Service Advance Trac
The auto park feature when activated states not available. The lane change feature no longer working. The adaptive cruise control system will not operate. Seems like all these systems are interconnected and something has took out them all. Any ideas

How did we ever get along without all this useless electronic garbage. It all needs a good voltage supply. With the ignition turned off connect your volt meter to the battery. Does it read around 12.6 volts? Start it up, does it read approx 14 volts?
If the voltages are good theres probably some defective sensor thats shutting everything down. If the check engine light is on, have it scanned for trouble codes at an auto parts store.

Yep, the easy thing to do first is inspect the battery and connections. How old is it? 4 or 5 start thinking about a new one. (Although it's a 2013) Load test or, conductance test.
Clean cables and grounds. A fully charged maintenance free battery at rest is 12.84 volts (with the surface charge removed). A wonky or failing battery can cause a Christmas Tree dash display.

I agree that checking the battery and charging system condition would be the first place to start. The battery in my 2011 Taurus SHO failed around 12k miles/3 years.
If that doesn't pan out, then I'd suspect something like a wheel speed sensor for the ABS that could tie to all of the systems that seem to be acting up. A professional grade scan tool would be very useful in helping determine if that's the case.
