Issues after battery replacement


Recommended Posts

My battery died and I replaced it this time adding terminal protectors I purchased with the battery. Since replacement the traction control off light is on (I go into settings but it won’t let me switch it to on), the stability control system light is on, the powertrain malfunction/ reduced power light is on, and my car is having trouble shifting (I have driven it 30 miles after reading that the computer just needed to relearn after losing power). I don’t know what to do.

I would disconnect the battery again, and either touch the two battery cable ends together (battery is disconnected!) or turn on a high draw item (headlights), or leave them off for 5 minutes, then reconnect it. Your vehicle should have a BMS (Battery Management System) that needs reset. I have not seen a procedure for this on your year Edge (I have done this with my 2017 Escape and 2015 Fusion). I never had any luck with the 8 hours of sitting overnight to reset it (my auto start/stop was still disabled, for example).
