Warning lights after loose battery connection

Battery lead had come loose when I went to start up. Tightened connection but have these 2 warning lights on dash now. Car is driving fine but I can't reset them with my little scanner. Will these be related to the battery issue. All tyres are up and I think the other is to do with ABS. Airbag light has been on for a while and the door is open haha. Cheers Jay

They usual reset after a battery disconnect when it's driven a few hundred yards, how far did you actually move the car? If you moved it a bit further than that I'd be tempted to properly disconnect the battery for 20-30 mins, reconnect and drive a mile and see if that sorts it before trying anything else

Drove it about 4 miles home. I'll disconnect and give that a try. Thanks

In fact before you do that. Did you try restarting it after getting home?
When one of my brake pressure sensors started playing up a restart was enough to clear the light.
If the cars just registered a low or intermittent voltage because the terminal was loose hopefully either a simple restart or a full battery disconnect for half an hour will do the trick
 
Yes Mack I've restarted it this morning but not driven it anywhere. I've disconnected the battery see if that works.

That's worked Mack thanks. Drove 100 yards after battery disconnect and all lights cleared. Good shout :thumbsup:
