Bought a new battery. It started up then immediately shut down after replacing it.

I have seen the fuel pumps go out after an accident, after you replaced the battery is the security light flashing when you try to start it. Also, if you turn the key on without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump in the tank turn on for about 5 seconds? I would disconnect the battery overnight to see if that will reset the system.

These guides can help as well:

and

We should try to run the codes as well.

Please go over these guides and report back.
