Default Captiva 2012 electrical problem after dead battery

Hello,

I have Captiva 2012 2.2 Diesel Auto 4x4, it was parked for few months and battery died, i tryied to jup start it all went good, no warning lights, but battery wasn't charged, so i removed it and put it on the charger out of the car but it was completely dead, so i replaced it with another battery. The battery which was in before was 100ah, 900A, i swapped battery from my other car which is 90Ah, 760A, it started perfectly but i got ESP ABS EPB HDC Lights On and AWD light flashing. I thought maybe there was not enough power so i jump leaded it from another running car which had 110Ah battery and startid it but no success.

Also parking brake doesn't engage automatically, it engages if i hold button for 5 sec,
I drive it about 2km but lights ar still on, it's FWD and ABS and ESP really doesn't work (on some vehicles light come up but they work but not on mine now)
fuses checked in the bonnet, all good.
Could there be any calibration losses because i had removed battery for about 72 hours.

Can you advice how can i fix it?

Thanks you in advance.

You need to make sure it is charging.

Thanks for the reply, Voltage before starting is 12.33V after its 14.34V, i think charging is fine.

That's good. You might just leave key on, not running for 10 minutes. Other than the abs, everything else points a body control module.
