From what i have seen from others this may be a battery issue. Try giving it a charge if you have a charger (recommended over doing a jump start)
Good Luck!

Would it be better just to replace the battery? I don’t have a charger by the time I buy a charger I might as well get a battery.

Yes, replace the battery. However, if you do not own a charger, you really should not have one of these cars. These cars eat batteries, unless you keep them on a charger when they set for more than a few days.

These cars don't eat batteries anymore than any other car and it's not a cell phone that needs to be charged all the time..That is what the alternator is there for...The cars going through batteries are most likely not driven daily and sit a bunch..That is what kills batteries...Jason

Another question the engine is turning over and it seems to have power a reset by disconnecting the negative side first or is it a waste of time?

Also, I was able to find these two codes the engine did start, but the hazards kept flashing even with the key pushing the button did not turn them off.

Sorry to post a bunch of photos, but this is what I’m finding. A little background all I did was change out the rotors and pads last night. I did not disconnect any of the calipers.

I really don't see how you could get all that from changing pads and rotors, but I would go back and look over your work...J

I agree, but I did that last night and drove it and now this. Can you educate me on any connections that may have been around I use the jackpoints didn’t stress anything underneath. Really just looking for a starting point I don’t know if just doing the battery because it is the best thing to do or not.

Oh ok...It maybe just coincidence...I would obviously start with making sure you have a good battery and all your fuses on the (+) terminal are good and the nuts are tight...There is nothing around the jack points...J

Yeah, I was just stating I using the checkpoints instead of somewhere I should’ve been and crushing or cutting a wire. I guess I’ll just start with a new battery. I did disconnect the negative for half hour and reinstalled it. Battery seems to have charge though that’s what’s odd. I would do that and check the fuses and connections. With everything I showed with the pictures it seems like it’s gotta be something that’s affecting everything that’s a lot of error codes.
Yes, most catalogs, and almost all online reference guides incorrectly list the battery as a H6, it should be H8 !
Removing the key is easy ; there is a small plastic cap on the steering column , very close to the ignition slot , just pry it out ( can even do it with a fingernail ) and then use anything like a paper clip tip, or a blunt pin, or a similar item to push in the button that’s inside , and that will release the key .
