    Question about a dead battery and DTS

    As far as the DTS system goes, if for any reason my battery would go 100% dead (say you left the lights or radio on by mistake) is it as simple as charging the battery up again?
    I read something about if the DTS system looses power it would need to be reset (serviced by a dealer) to get it up and running again, is that right?

    I have been turning off the battery switch on mine for almost a year with no problems.

    Simply fully-charge the battery (or properly connect a well-rated, fully-charged battery). Disconnecting the battery completely would not cause loss of any settings or engine setup/information.

    My bad, I've been off-line with computer issues since I posted. Just saw Don's post and posted without really thinking. Thanks to all that posted.
