Mechanic replaced '02 V70 steering rack - now car won't idle right ... V70-XC70 2002

Hello BB forum. 'Just had my son's 2002 V70 (235K miles) wagon's steering rack replaced, and the mechanic informed me the car won't idle properly now (bummer!). He doesn't think 'its anything he did', but I noticed the clock on the instrument panel was reset (he probably left the ignition ON - he did admit he had to charge the battery, but didn't disconnect terminals). Question: may a dead battery be the root cause for this poor idling? Does the car require multiple starts to reset the ECM?

Thanks.

Bernie
