SAFC reads 22% Throttle when car is off

I was just browsing through the menus on my safc and decided to display my Batt voltage and throttle and when the car was off, the SAFC showed my throttle at 22%.

What should I do.

I'm guessing it's because the engine was cold so the thermowax was holding the primary throttle open a bit. The S4 TPS only measures the first ~15deg of throttle travel, so it wouldn't take much to see a 22% reading.
