2000 Beetle transmission reset?

I have a 01M transmission, I believe, in a 2000 Beetle that ran fine when it was parked in the garage in the fall. The battery went dead which was recharged before it was taken for a quick spin. The transmission, now only runs through the shift pattern to 3rd but will not shift into 4th, or overdrive. Is the transmission in limp mode? or can it be reset since the battery was dead for awhile? Does the transmission fluid need to be changed , or has the transmission died? The transmission has 79200 miles on it. Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like limp mode. Have you scanned the car for codes?
