Left ignition on, CCID 186 error

Hey guys. So just like the title says, I left my ignition on for about 8 hours, came back to the car, battery died and had to get a jumpstart. Car runs fine however, I now have this CCID 186 error on the check control. It's a red icon with a steering wheel and a lock. I've done research stating "ELV steering wheel fault, engine cannot be restarted". I've read a post that stated the steering column has to be replaced in this case. Anyone know if I can just reset the error with my BT cable or should I take this error more seriously. Thanks.

Whenever I go on vacation in the middle of winter for a few weeks, the car battery ends up getting low and giving me a light show about ABS/e-brake/etc. I wouldn't worry about it. Mine clears itself up after I charge the battery and drive around for a while.
