First things first: sorry if this has already been covered. I searched and found a couple of threads relating to dash lights but nothing quite like my situation. Just idle related issues. I'd gladly spend more time searching, but my time is extremely limited @ the moment.

My car has been sitting with no battery in it for the last 6 months. I had to do some valve guide seals and waiting for parts/other circumstances has made this job a real pain. Anyway, I got the car together and it runs great, but my VDC and ABS lights are constantly on. Is this because the car needs to be driven a certain amount to relearn these systems? I ask because I'm in another country and cannot drive it. I didn't get the car running until the day before I left, so I am asking on behalf of a friend trying to fix these issues in my absence. Thanks in advance for any assistance....

 

Anybody have an idea??
