Default How to check for thrown codes?

Hello, I am getting 'service' active handling' message and TC/ABS lights on the instrument panel. Also the TC button will not function. This was my first drive after a long winter's nap. Had to charge the battery to start. Everything was fine when I put her away in Nov. How do I view the error codes to diagnose? Thanks, Tom

Tom:

Out where i used to live (Glen Mills)....
Just hold #4 button in, and hit the #1 button 4 times. This will put you in the mode to look through the codes.

I would reset all of them, sicne you changed out the battery. Then see if they come back. I had about 10 different codes when my battery died and i replaced it. I reset all of the codes and not one has come back yet.

Good luck!
