Error messages came up (then went away)

[Julian987]

Hi

Went for a drive today since having my battery replaced (as per the thread below).

When I turned the key it came up saying:

 

Drive Off Assistant Failure and another said PSM fault.

 

I then figured I'll drive it around the block. Then switched it off. Then back on again and the error messages didn't show. 

Then went for a drive, no errors, came home, switched off, back on, no errors. 

So could it be just an oddity with the new battery replacement? can it do that?

 

Best regards

Julian

Those error messages are standard/common when the battery supply has been interrupted... Starting & driving a few yards resets the system... No issue here...

As Mavrik said. It's when they don't go away (or come back at a later time) that you need to be worried.

Those errors after disconnecting the battery are perfectly normal.  Move the wheel lock to lock and go over 15mph to calibrate PSM and the steering angle sensor, and all will be well.
