Congrats on getting it back together, I know it has been distressing you for a while. I don't know much about the flashing sys light hopefully it is something simple.

It means you have a control module error, ABS, or the like. Not a major problem, but one you should have checked. You might try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes and see if it goes away, and have it checked if it comes back. It may have been tripped when the car was in the shop.

Thanks for the praise. I am trying to keep my head for sure. Wondering if it could be because the door ajar button was leaving the lights on and battery was almost dead when i picked it up? It started but you coudl tell it was low? I will try disconnecting it tonight and thanks again.

Disconnecting the battery for a minute or two should correct the problem. If not pull the codes.

Went and had the codes ran, there are none (YEAH) and seems that was enough to turn it off.

I believe you have hit the nail on the head. A low or discharged battery will cause the SYS to flash.
