ABC issues after flat battery

The symptoms are that the car does a kind of rodeo while driving. It can do it from any one corner and sometimes it does it from side to side. The car does not do it when stationary and the car does not droop when left. ABC pump was replaced a little while ago, fluid is at the correct level and there are no leaks that I can see.

This all started happening after I got a flat battery and wonder if the two might be connected. I left the bonnet up on my '04 S600 for 10 days and this led to the battery going flat. After recharging it I got a warning messages on the dash about pre-safe not working and I think the accelerometers needing calibrating. Both messages cleared after driving the car and it has no malfunctions recorded and no red triangles.

Oh, I also removed the undertray and put it back on and wonder whether I might have disturbed something.

Thanks,

Alan

Just to update that the system fixed itself after a fair bit of driving. I suspect that the ABC system simply needed to recalibrate itself
