Remove both terminals away from the battery, and whilst they are away short them together with a spanner for about 10 seconds. Re-connect to the battery and try.
This is very safe to do i, i wouldn't of said to do it, if i haven't done it myself perfectly safe.
 
Shorting out the battery will fix sensor problems?have you had same problem and this fixed issue mate if so have you any idea why it does.
 
Seeing as you have only had the problem, since changing the battery, try it. It's free. If it doesn't work, pay someone with vcds to scan your car

Don't put the spanner across the battery terminals. The cables you take off the battery, put the spanner across these.

Yeh, not the battery itself or the spanner will ping off into your face.
The only thing that needs resetting normally is yer auto windows.
