Why is my car dying?

Asked by Guru646PL Mar 09, 2020 at 08:22 PM about the 2004 Toyota Camry LE FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car turns on normal. For whatever reason I'll be
driving or I'll have it parked while it's on and it dies.
After it dies, I try to turn it back on, it stalls. Then
turns back on as if nothing happened. Normally
theres no altercation of it dying: its just sudden,
then the red battery shows up on my dashboard.
The check engine light hasn't turned on.

Update, my car JUST now had the check engine light on as soon as I turned on the car. These are the codes that showed up.
