Have read several posts on here which state that if you disconnect the battery, once you re-connect it you will have ABS and HDC alarms until you turn the wheel from lock to lock.

I first disconnected my battery a couple of weeks ago, and removed it from the car to put it on my conditioning charger overnight. When I re-connected it, car sprang in to life as normal, with no alarms.

On Thursday, had the earth lead disconnected from the battery while I was fitting a tow bar. When I put it back on Friday morning, again no alarms.

Warning lights for HDC, ABS etc., etc. come on when the ignition is turned on, and go off as expected, so I don't think anything has been disconnected.

The HDC works, and the steering angle sensor is obviously working as well, because if I show the 4WD information screen on my display, I can see the front wheels turning.

So, do these alarms only occur if you have moved the steering? or should I be more concerned?  2006 (56 Reg) 4.4 V8 Vogue In Bonatti Grey (Gorgeous!!)

The steering wheel reset only applies to pre 2006 MY cars so you won't need to do it on yours after disconnecting the battery  Stolen / Gone: 2006MY Supercharged LPG Autobiography - Zambezi Silver with Sand/Jet/Jet Oxford Leather.....

Many thanks for that

I was getting worried that I had something serious wrong with my FF, so it's good to know that I don't have a problem  2006 (56 Reg) 4.4 V8 Vogue In Bonatti Grey (Gorgeous!!)
