Default Engine shuts off while driving. No check engine light, starts back up, no codes?

Hello!

Weird problem, twice yesterday my Mothers 06 just shut off. First just after going over a speed bump in a parking lot so maybe 10mph at best. It immediately was able to be restarted with no symptoms.

About 10 miles later driving down a residential street coming to the corner to turn (I don't know if she was at a stop or just coasting to the stop, but she says, all the dash lights turned off except the headlight green light. Again no issue starting up.

What I checked:

1) Battery is relatively new, it tested at 12.5 volts
2) New alternator, tested at 13.90 volts
3) No check engine light
4) I used my inexpensive scan tool and no codes or faults to report.

I followed her home with no issues.

I read Fuel pump could be an issue, but if the fuel pump shut off, would the speedometer, and other dash indicators go black (this was at night)? I wasn't driving it so the symptoms are second hand.She has no issues accelerating. over 1/4 on the fuel,

Any thought what to check?

Thanks

Max

Try to vigorously move the battery cable ends.

They should not budge.....

I would check all fluids, oil and anti-freeze. There are sensors that trigger alarms. You might need an expensive scan tool to see those, probably a $700 one.

Thanks. I read it may be the Main Relay (fuel pump). I ordered one. I will check the fluids.
