No need to attempt reprogramming. The computer will take sensor readings as you drive the vehicle and adjust accordingly. If your "check engine" light was on before or turns on after the battery change you should have it checked out. Generally speaking reprogramming the radio is the major task, grin.
Some take a bit for everything to come back as it was, check your owners manual, it should tell you everything in there :)
It might need reprogramming, but try this first.. 1. Disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for 10 minutes. 2. Rehook the battery, then turn the igntion on without starting it. 3. Leave the ignition on for 1 minute, then try to restart it. It might take a while, but it should level out. Good Luck!!!

Whether your ECU (Engine Control Unit) needs to be reprogrammed depends on several factors, such as changes in engine components, software updates, or troubleshooting diagnostic codes. If you’ve installed new parts, experienced performance issues, or had a battery disconnect, reprogramming may be necessary to ensure optimal performance. Consult a professional mechanic or technician to determine if reprogramming is required for your specific situation.
Need to reset computer...
Yes, disconnecting the battery on a Citroën Xsara Picasso is relatively straightforward. Start by locating the battery, typically found in the engine bay. Use a wrench to loosen the negative (-) terminal first, followed by the positive (+) terminal to safely disconnect the battery. Always ensure that you have the radio code and any necessary reprogramming information before disconnecting the battery.
where do I find the battery on a 1999 Chrysler sebring, can't find it in the engine compartment?
The battery size depends on the size of the engine. The larger the engine size the more cranking amps are required. A small 12.5 HP will only require around 190 amps while a 22HP will require closer to 360 amps.
To change a check engine light the dashboard must be removed this is best done by a mechanic. To reset a engine light unplug the cars battery for half a hour.
