Not exactly correct miket. If the battery reset is for 30 mins+ it will remove any resident fault codes which could be useful at a later date on diagnostics. Also the ignition needs to be left on for at least 30 seconds before starting to allow various valves and solenoids to reset themselves. The correct procedure is as follows:
Open the boot, turn off the battery isolator switch for 30 seconds plus (30-40), turn back on, shut the boot, reset the alarm which will bleep, open the drivers door, get in shut the door and , making sure you do not touch any foot pedals, turn off the aircon and any thing else that might drain power, wait for the interior light to go off, turn on the ignition, and try to turn off the Sat Nav and radio as quickly as possible. Leave the ignition on for 30 seconds plus, during which time you will hear all sorts of wirring noises and then start the engine. Leave to run for about 10 mins without touching any pedals, until up to working temperature, and the fans have cut in (checks they are working), and job done. You can do this one time after another, which as Aussie will confirm had better results, depending on your initial problem.
