I need to replace the dead battery on my 2015 SE. I'll be doing it myself this time, so is there anything I need to do after the new battery is installed, or am I good to go?
I've seen some online discussion of reset procedures following battery changes. However, according to this general info from a dealer, it's generally not needed with modern cars unless something is damaged:
"A full reset [which happens after a dead battery is replaced] reverts your ECU to its factory settings and likely causes it to forget its learned ideal shift points and air-fuel mixing ratios. When driving shortly after a reset, you may experience rougher acceleration and shifting than usual.
Under normal circumstances, you don’t need to do anything else after resetting the computer other than keep driving the car. The ECU will eventually relearn its ideal settings and reprogram itself with use."

But I thought it would be a good idea to confirm that here.
