    Warning lights on after battery change!!

    Need help again please. Just changed my battery and now when I switch on the car I have an ESP fault on the MFD and the steering wheel, ESP and tyre pressure warning lights are on.

    What have I done????

    Using my Maxscan no faults are found.

    Most of them should clear when you drive off. You may need to reset you TPMS.

    Esp and tyre pressure monitor relies on the abs sensors. After a battery disconnect you may have to reset TPM and drive a couple of hundred meters to let the system calibrate.

    I changed my battery about 2 weeks ago and the guy who installed it said just drive forward about 20m and then reverse back the 20m. I did that and the fault lights cleared
