If the only thing you did was change the battery, it sounds to me as though the computer as just lost some of the memory. A thirty minute stop and go drive should help relearn the drivability settings.

If that does not work drive to an AutoZone, advanceAuto or similar because they usually retrieve engine trouble codes for free and if any are found, post them in here.

Hello JIMMY JOHNSON SR.,

If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself here is a link to an article from this site that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the codes please get back to us with the code number(s) so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

Kindest regards,

Renee
