Default 1 DTC Found: 17987 - Throttle Body Controller (J338): Adpatation Not Started 35-00 - -

I tried to do a throttle adaptation and got the above DTC. What do I do now? I'm guessing it's because it's too cold out (mid 30s). Is it ok to start the car with the throttle not adapted to warm stuff up a bit, or do I just need to wait until summer ? I don't want to drive the car because the alignment is dangerously off due to my accident last week, but I don't think there will be a problem with starting it and idiling it until it warms up a bit. Opinions/thoughts?

Default Start the car and let it get some temp and run the adaption again.

This has happen to me before.

Default agreed, theres a few parameters that gotta be met for the adapt to run

I don't remember them all but two were battery voltage has to be higher than x.x volts and water temp has to be at least a certain temp...hah useless I know but thats all I can remember
