I'm not saying you didn't do it right in the first place....but I tend to see it due to low voltage. It very well could be it triggered a code on its own and just needed rebooted like a computer. Four hours would normally be enough to top off the battery depending on its state of charge when you left.

As for Idling...Idling may not be enough as the alternator is not getting out max power. If you are not seeing issues, then I'm not sure I would worry a ton about it. It's just when you do see a fault, my first suggestion would be to make sure batteries are charged, reset and try it again. That corrects it 75% of the time.
