OP - I would presume the fault code may still be logged in the memory so may need clearing via cable but try it first with the new battery

low battery can play havoc with electronics esp with a car like this and all the sensors etc
A very good hypothesis and I'd really like to experiment it myself.

I have seen my local indy fitting battery in 7 series and it worked fine due to same amperage.

However across the pond, consensus is that you will need to register new battery even if it is of same amerpage.
