Since you drained the battery, IMHO, the first thing you should do is RECHARGE the battery fully.

While changing the struts, you may have disconnected the wheel sensors (on one of the wheels) and you forgot to reconnect it.
Or, one of the wheel sensor is damaged during the strut work.

Thank you so much pcy. I checked the wheel sensors and the mechanic left one of the sensors out of the sensor hole on wheel hub. Put it in and drove less than 25 meters and all warnings went out. Thank you so much.
