..now thats interesting.....you might try disconnecting the battery again, then reconnecting after 10-15 minutes, this may reset it

If the battery cycle doesn't help and if you don't have a Techstream, take your car to an auto parts place that can read any system errors for you.

Could be a loose or corroded battery cable.

Weak battery, that’s only thing that I can think of. New battery doesn’t mean it’s good. I had to return the brand new battery in exchange for another one. Check the battery voltage or go to Autozone, they will test the battery for free.
