Warning Lights After Battery Disconnect?
Disconnected/reconnected my battery several times while doing body work this weekend. When I finally reconnected it upon completion of repairs, I was met with BAS and ESP warning lights upon start-up. I drove the vehicle very briefly and they remained on. I turned it off and then back on again thinking the system would reset. It didn't. Same warning lights.
I shut it off and parked it. My son took it to the store shortly thereafter. A short hop trip of a few miles. This morning: no lights.
Is this normal behavior? It takes the car a few miles to reset the systems? Just curious.
