Replaced battery today and now it's throwing CEL, VSC off, and Traction off.
Changed my battery and now those lights are on. Everything seems fine. I've heard of this happening before after replacing a battery. 27f from Costco and the install went fine. Suggestions or ideas? I've since driven it a bit more and turned on and off a few times. No change

You'll need to get the specific error code(s) causing the CEL. Battery change should not cause this.

Maybe just need a ZPC. Zero Point Calibration.

Code readers can set off those lights too.

If the battery is disconnected for too long (no idea how long too long is), it will set those error lights on the dashboard. I know from the time it takes me to run to Wally World with my trade in and get the new one home and installed, it sets those lights. It just needs a zero point calibration with a paper clip and you'll be good to go or you can go to the dealer and they can explain how it takes a very sophisticated and specialized piece of equipment to do a calibration and that's why it's $200 with them.
