Default Battery Removal

I will start by saying this question is brought on because One: New to these Computer Driven Cars and Two, Concerned about getting code issues to resolve. I want to pull the Battery to get under it to inspect that area and clean the Udder Tubing. I know the Radio will need to be reprogrammed, maybe the FOB but is there any other item to be concerned about???? Yup I'm a newby, not to Mechanics and most Electronics but none the less this is a different animal with the various systems involved.

As far as I've experienced only the radio time no presets are lost. Seat memory is retained, all other DIC settings remain.

You should not have any problems with removing the battery as far as the car goes with the possible exception of the radio presets and if you have the theft lock activated on the radio be sure you have the code to unlock it.

I also remove my battery for 6 months over the winter and have lost nothing including radio presets. When I put it back in, it's just like it was never out. Except for the time.
