No. You should have plugged in a memory saver device before you disconnected the battery. Unfortunately you need to have the Dealer flash (reprogram) the computers. Jim

Usually they will not reset, however I have had about three that I remember the person removed and installed a new battery and all was well, the only common factor is the people had a battery right there and swapped it out and made connections within seconds.
