It did not in my case. Even after the handle failed, there was not error code other than the battery drain warning

I had the passenger rear door handle go bad and started getting the High Battery Drain warning. I checked each handle and found the bad handle to be very hot to the touch. Disconnected the wiring to the handle and no more warning error.

One more item to note: before the handle completely shorted out, I noticed that if I stood near that door (eg while filling the vehicle up with gas) and had the key in my pocket, the car would repeatedly lock and unlock over and over. Didn't happen when close to any other door. And doesn't happen now that I've disconnected that handle.
