C70 Convertible won't start - completely dead? "Anti Theft"?

[Crafty1980]

Does anyone know much about an error message on a C70 that starts with something like "anti theft..." ?!?

I didn't have time to read the whole message because the message then vanished, the car basically went dead, but the orange "i" on the dashboard was flashing... and the headlights were on... and the radio display was on but no sound out of the speakers... oh and the fans were running...

The fans then stopped...

I decided to disconnect the battery in a vain attempt to reset something. When I reconnected it, the windows opened half way.
Thinking this might be a sign of progress, I then got back in the car and turned the ignition on. The dash lit up as it should with no error messages. Then I went to turn over the engine and heard nothing but a "click" and then a new red "i" flashed up on the dash saying that there was a serious problem with the braking system and to pull over immediately...

Turned off again, tried to turn on again. This time a red "i" message came up about Airbags!!

Can a car have a mental breakdown? I guess with all the software built into them these days there is a chance it could get scrambled?!

Anyone suffered from this?

Anyone know if there is a way to reset the software? (if that is indeed the problem) or reset the car?!

Thanks,

Ben

Nope, no passengers at all but will try and fiddle with the fuse board in the morning and let you know!
