    The most often given response to a multi light problem such as you have experienced brings into question the 12volt battery. Has yours ever been replaced or is it the original one? If it is still on the first battery it is getting long in the tooth and probably should be replaced. See if Santa put one under the tree.......

    This error message sound like a english but written in jap pronunciation.... like a "hybrid error check". Did u try to power up and power down your car multiple times?

    The "!" next to the steering wheel light is part of the display, it does not necessarily indicate a problem with the steering. See attached for symbols. As mentioned, it could be a 12v battery issue. I'd start there. Good luck. Update us when you know anything...
