Default Code Reset After Battery Replacement

I have read most of the threads, Car sat for 4.5 months in garage without tender., Used to start it very month, got lazy, AAA came and replace battery, all good, now all codes showing up, drove it 200+ miles, no not at 55-60 steady, Don't know how do do that.
Service Active Handling
Service Antilock
Service Yada Yada ...

Just looking for a cheap reset tool, have had no issue that had not taken care of before put away.
had no issues driving it even at NE Left lane freeway speeds on last long trip (65+ miles each way) ...
Just don't want the nanny lights anymore ...
Hoping its not a tech 2 clone...
If Napa / Autozone type tool can do it, my local Mechanic has a Snap on one but not the extended code type stuff...

Any suggestion for amazon type cheap reset?


Thanks

Just for grins.....if it's not a wide body, take the battery out, and check the ground underneath the battery then replace the battery and at times the codes are gone. Worked for me one time, so what the heck!

Fix your electrical problem(s) and the codes will disappear. They aren't real codes and you don't need any reset tool.

I’d say wide body with dry sump. The rest of the wide bodies should have the same grounding setup.

Check the connectors at the battery first, the AAA guy may not have them tight!

I disconnect the battery all the time and never had codes. But a wheels sensor will certainly give those.

I put my battery in my 2005 today after a long 7 months. I have never had codes after putting the battery back in and I have had it a little over 10 years. Reindex the windows and reset the seat as it never remembers these things. Drove about 40 miles and changed the oil. I always clean the terminals and the cleaned the battery cables. Try the easy items first.
