Default Warning lights, shimmying

Hi all,
I own a 2013 cx5 it’s got some miles on it. Never any problems except s belt snapped last year on a trip. on my 14 mile drive home from work today the last 5 miles were not so great. All was fine made a quick stop, got back in car, went couple miles all’s fine, go down a hill all Auden car sounds like it’s driving on those slow down threads in road. Shimmying, shuddering, master engine light on, tsc light on, low tire light on. Master engine light blinking. Pull over turn car off, let it sit 5 minutes, turn it back on, reset low tire light, tsc. All good no engine light on, put it in drive and am in low power all lights back on, engine light flashing. I drove it slowly to my house 1 1:2 miles home. Suggestions

y mechanic said drive it to his shop 12 miles away???

I would get it towed. Without a diagnostic code check, you would be making wild guesses. Petrol or diesel engine?

petrol. I unhooked the battery cables. It was raining. My brother who is a diesel mechanic said he has seen some similar issues on several trucks recently. Some of wiring underneath corroded and got wet and messed with electrical system. ?? Thought. I just left cables off it’s in garage drying out.

Default Need more input 2013 Mazda CX-5 engine light blinking, TSC & low tire pressure light

Getting ready to attach battery cables after 2 days of drying out. Battery is running at full charge at 13. Any other input that it could possibly be?? ABS system malfunction, misfire?? What could possible costs be?

With a simple OBD2 code reader you might pull some useful information. From your description, it may be as simple as a "cylinder "X" misfire" as in you lost a coil pac. The reader could display that.
Don't play "well, it could be this or it could be that..." without some data to back it up. This is the 21st. century after all. Take advantage of that. My $0.02 cents.
