That should not have happened if the person that worked on it installed the saver tool that plugs into the OBD 2 port during battery replacement. So now it sounds like you will need the dealer to re-flash the computer systems to bring it back.

That should not have happened, did they not use the memory saver tool before disconnecting main power? So now you will need the dealership to look at it and it may need a system reflash.
