Warning lights after battery change

[Spannerf1]

Hi I'm a long time reader but new member to this forum, I've had my 2010 be TDI Passat B6 for about 5 years, just replaced my battery and need to clear error codes, airbag and Park,
brake, if anyone can help regards Tom Essendon area

Did you code the battery in which would help with that. They mostly go away after a little while but some need clearing

[Spannerf1]

So I might need vcds to clear the codes?

Have you tried driving it yet? The codes / lights should disappear shortly after going into drive...

Or OBDEleven that can also allow you to code your battery in to correct the charging rate and not shorten the life of the battery

I've tried driving it but the steering fault light is the only one that clears, I didn't realise O would have to code the battery, the old one was 640cca and the new one is 750 cranking amps, do I need a Ross tech cable or is there a cheaper alternative to code battery and clear fault codes thanks, sorry but I'm new to all this

Read reply 5 or get a dealer to do it.

Or you can buy Carista which is cheaper than both VCDS and OBD11 and you can code in the battery using that and also clear the fault codes to remove the lights off your dash. Carista OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner and Customiser for Android and iOS – AutoInstruct
