Car stalled out w/bad battery, got DBC DSC Yel Brake light, and some other faults

On very steep hill in the neighborhood, had the wheel cut. Battery was SO bad that even after a 5 hour drive it would need to be jump packed to crank back over.

Stalled out on the hill, and then immediately tried to crank it so I didn't have to jump it. It took about 20 seconds of it turning over to finally crank, and I got DBC DSC amber BRAKE light, CC malfunction, HS assist malfunction. Was similar to when I knocked my alignment out.

So I did control arms nd sway bar end links and got it aligned. Codes persisted.

Immediately after I got those codes, I got a new battery. I am about to register it with Bimmerlink tonight.

I just want to know if I need to recalibrate the SAS, or will just registering the battery and clearing the codes fix it, since it seemed to just be random codes that pissed out whenever the car stalled on a hill with the wheel turned, which seemingly pop up with steering angle sensor alignment issues or suspension alignment issues

Can Bimmercode recalibrate the SAS?

Like I said, this happened IMMEDIATELY after stalling out on a hill with my wheels turned with the super shitty battery.

Thanks all.

Whenever you lose power, there's a chance the SAS will loose it's settings. Turning the wheel full left then full right with the car running will often clear these faults, if not, resetting the codes or recalibrating the SAS with ISTA works most of the time.

Thanks man, that's what I figured. I guess my model doesn't work with the wheel lock to lock. I hear some cars it'll work, some it won't.

My buddy around where my mom lives is wiling to take a look and recode it for $50. So hopefully that'll work out. Thanks bud.
