Strange issues

Ive got an 02 2wd escape with the v6. Its been an excellent truck until here recently. The wife has had a weird problem twice now, that I have been unable to reproduce. She says the check engine light and low oil light come on and she loses power steering. Shutting it off and restarting fixes the issue. Took a 400 mile road trip with it last weekend and never had an issue. Only thing I noticed , the readiness meters never went ready. Even after that trip, It still shows a systems not ready code.

Tonight the wife had the issue again. Shutdown and restart fixed it.

Battery cables are clean and tight, several grounds were freshly cleaned a couple months ago.

Any ideas?

Check the fuses and relays for corrosion. Take it to a Ford dealer before you throw any parts at it.
