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:
