computer issue ?
ive got a 2019 stingray , fired it up after winetr hibernation ,had the tender on it all winter . About a month ago i put it in the garage and didnt hook up the bat tender cause i didnt think it would sit for long , unfortunately it did and when i went to start it it almost wouldnt turn over , i tried again and she fired off . So i go for a sticker and guy tells me computer has no info drive it for about 200 miles and come back, so i did and still no info in computer ! I had the 4 cyl delete plugged into the port so he thinks thats the problem , so he says unplg it and drive it another 200 miles and dont use any accesories including the a/c then come back and try again . My question is can a deakership reprogram the computer and get me a sticker or do i have to drive around for another 200 miles ? thanks in advance

He's correct. Take it out of the plug, drive the car and then get retested. Common problem when you run the "Range" unit.

Raange early models I believe did do a battery drain but the newer ones have been revised and the problem has been eliminated.
