Default help needed

Hi I have just replaced the battery management control module because the old one would not accept a new battery coding.
So when I try now it says THIS APPEARS TO BE AN UNINITIALIZED CONTROL MODULE. any help would be appreciated.

If an uninitialized control module warning appears, this means that one or more of the WorkShop Code, Importer, or Equipment numbers are all zeros.

Since some modules will not allow you to Save Adaptation values unless non-zero numbers are in any or all of those fields, VCDS shows you this error when it thinks this might be the case.. In most cases you should click [Yes] to allow VCDS to enter 12345/123/12345 in those fields.

If you click [No] then VCDS will try using the values currently stored in the module even if they are all zeros.

If you click [Cancel] then VCDS will allow you to manually type in values for each of those fields.
