Sounds like battery dis-connect/loss of power. The ESP tyre warning and steering have to re-calibrate after power loss. Doesnt help on why this happened but the warning lights are normal.
I assume the bonnet hadnt been messed about with while you were gone? if not might be worth checking the battery terminals :confused:

nobody near the car. the bonnet hasent been opened and the car started fine didnot struggle i have an optima yellow top gel battery as i like my car audio and that thing is amazing, i cant personaly see there being dodgy wiring to this as it was fitted at my usual audio center and they are top banna :signLOL: never had an issue before, coujld it be anything to do with me not locking the car as i usually do but for some reason didnt today :sad1:

may be worth checking the earth cable from the battery to its earthing point.? if it is loos or dirty might be making earth some times and no others
