My girlfriend replaced the battery on her 2018 Tiguan SEL today (it’s been dead for about 2 months and the vehicle hasn’t driven) and after replacing it, it’s having quite a few issues.
She says she installed the battery correctly and didn’t short anything out (but that’s unlikely due to all of the issues she’s having). The car starts fine but a bunch of errors pop up after start.

The errors are as follows:
1.Error: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (I think it probably just needs to be reset).
2. Error: Transmission in Emergency Mode. You can continue driving.
3. Error: Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC).
4. Error: Hill Start Assist
5. Front Assist Not Available

Also, there is no power steering.

The front wipers didn’t work either but I found that to be a blown fuse when I took a peek under the hood.

Anyone have any ideas as to what could be the culprit? Is there any one system that controls all of this?
Thanks!

thats normal the system is confused and needs a re boot. Turn the car on and just spin the steering wheel all the way left and hold for a sec , and spin back to the right all the way and hold for a sec. Repeat this for about 3 to 4 times , and all error lights should clear if u have a obd11 u can also clear and check other faults.

I tried the steering wheel reset and it hasn’t worked. Still have no power steering and the other faults are there as well. Also, this morning I turned the car on and now I’m getting a 12V Battery Not Charging warning.

I believe the Tiguan's engine management system needs to know the age/type/rating of the battery to better manage the charging. Its like a three digit code which is related to the battery model/manufacturer. Hence why VW recommend specific batteries. It might pay to visit your local VW service centre and get them to check. ...just a thought.

I have a 2009 Mercedes C220cdi (W204) that from time to time goes into a similar mode. Diagnosed as a bad earth, still to be found. Fortunately, it seems to self cure after a while, normally after going over a bump.

Recheck your cable connections giving particular attention to the earth cable, perhaps clean out the terminal connection out with a wire brush..

That is correct its a black sticker with Bim number stating the make model of battery and crank amp. how ever you have a 36k or 32k miles warranty on battery
