I've researched a lot and read the manual but find no answer to my question.

The car is sitting with the battery disconnected as there is a draw somewhere and it kills the battery. I've connected the battery and then went to test the ECU codes. It returned code 55 multiple times but I am questioning that result as the battery was disconnected and may have cleared all the codes.

how long do I wait, I am guessing with the ignition on for the ecu to pick up some codes? Can't start the car right now...

im actually going to be doing this within the hour so you're lucky! haha

just start the car, then drive/let it idle for around for 10 minutes or so, and then pull the codes with the engine still running.
