Did you ever think the battery got low because you didn’t turn on the car................

LOL WHAAT ? You want to reset an engine check light ? Is that what you are asking. There is a reason why its on.

Scan for codes or take to someone who can.

You need to address the underlying cause. That light came on for a reason.

It isn't because the tech failed to reset service reminders; it is an indication that something is not right.

Put it on a trickle charger overnight. if the car will be sitting longer than 3 days, I'd recommend this. They're fairly cheap.

I'd also take it back in for inspection if you just bought it...

I should also have mentioned that if your battery is low enough, it can cause your dash to light up like a Christmas tree. So what StereoSteve said about charging is particularly important here....

Once you have a full battery (or a new one, if necessary), it’ll be easier to determine whether there’s even an issue at all.

i will try by charging the battery first , and also check it with my mechanic for any faults coz the dealer that sold me the car told me he did a full service also he gave me the papers to prove everything was done....Als ofor charging the battery can i disconnect it or it should be left in place and charged , will it lose any codes or something if i remove it ?
