Default Vehicle network communication error

2017 5.0

On way to work everything shot down, gauges, center display read vehicle network communication error.

Coasted to side of road (not sure if truck was running really as I was trying to get off highway safe.)

When everything came back on wrench light and wrench message on cluster.

Drove rest of the way to work no problem.

When I got the truck a few months ago it did have a dead battery one morning....jumped and no issues since (several months now)

Ideas?

I do have a code reader (Bluetooth) hooked to it but that's been on for a few months as well.

Have not looked at anything yet

Start with the battery. Terminals clean, load test how old is it. There’s usually a date on them somewhere.
