So for my first post unfortunately it is with a problem

The battery in my E70 died the other day

So I sourced a new battery fitted it and code the new battery to the ECU. As soon as I started the car the car came up with a load of errors most of these I could clear but I am stuck with one now showing a DTC error with the fault code 00A817.

Does anyone have an idea where to start to look for this or is this going to cost me a trip to the stealers?

One thing you can also do is drive slowly forward and steer from lock to lock.  On the E53 a battery change could trigger warnings and this was the trick to reset it.

If the suggestion above doesn't work then:  Try disconnecting it, waiting 20 mins and reconnect again.

Oh and to the madhouse 

Thanks that did the trick all faults have now gone 

Thanks for the welcome I am a long time BMW owner but this is my first venture into the X's
