When my car read that, certain things stopped working (Comfort Access, the fan inside the car, the lights inside the car, etc). The dealer said that is on purpose and occurs after the high battery drain message.

I have not updated my post here recently but my high battery drain message would appear - but only in times of extreme cold. The dealer ended up replacing the battery but it was still giving the message. Then ended up tracing it back to a bad cable. The work order says "Replace Battery Positive Cable" however the part says "1 12-42-7-603-567 Battery Cable, Negative IBS:611030"

And that is what they had told me - the IBS cable had a short in it.
