Battery was completely drained and now it is coming up with the above as soon as the car is turned on?

Any ideas?

have you had it jump started, in which case it still has low battery voltage. check voltage with engine running, should be around 14.5V

Yeah it was just jump started after being collected from the garage so hasn't been driven much to charge back up. I'll get the multimeter on it.

Do you think once voltage has risen the lights will go out?

Hopefully it is a low voltage issue, if they do not clear you'll need a diagnostic scan. The car will need to be driven a while and steering turned lock to lock to clear the ABS ESP lights as well.

Gave it a drive for a bit and it's not going off. So strange that it's come on just after the battery going.

Start the car full lock the wheel one way then the other then drive give that a try. If no luck you will have to clear them with vcds

It's around 11.9 off and about 13.9 running.

Not charged up enough is it. Gonna have to run it some more.

Fully charged the battery and it is still on.

Also inspected the ABS fuses and they look fine.

No fault codes when scanned.

Driving me mad!
