Unhappy DSC flashing fix - redo?

Over the Christmas break, I accidently drained the battery (left the trunk open...d'oh! ). As you know, the once the battery was recharged, I got the flashing DSC light. As per manual, I needed to turn the wheel full right, then left after key was set to start. Unfortunately, I had already started the car to run it around a short while since it was stored.....but the light went out while I was driving around.

Because I did not really turn the wheel the proper "full" manner, is the system not poperly reset?

Should I disconnect the battery to have the DSC flash again and then redo the procedure?

I don't have the manual handy right now. There are actually a couple of resets necessary after the battery is disconnected. Look for the reset instructions for the steering angle sensor too which involves a full left and a full right turn as I recall.

From what I read in the manual, what you described was how to reset the DSC....at least from my understanding....
