On many newer vehicles the computers must be powered up at all times. Even when replacing the battery. You can buy a memory saver for this. But at this point I believe you need to visit your local GM Dealer and have the computers flashed. I'm assuming the computers went dead during the battery replacement. Hope that helps! Jim
