2005 Suzuki C50 Boulevard. Does a C28 Fault Code hurt it?

2005 Suzuki C50. 54,000 miles. Runs fine except for one thing. When ascending a steep hill, and it needs a little more throttle to maintain speed, a Fault Indicator (FI) C28 code appears. The bike continues to run fine and sound fine. Youtube videos would have you think only GSXR owners are the victims of this problem, but it happens to cruisers too. This error code has to do with the secondary throttle butterfly position. Youtube suggests re-soldering the connections to the stepper motor that controls these butterflies. The factory scrimped on the solder. That fix worked for a while, but the problem is back. This is just a throttle butterfly position problem right? It doesn't affect the fuel injector duty cycles right? It doesn't feel like it's running lean and hurting itself. Thinking about ignoring it. Suggestions?

    resolder it properly. 1/ clean off old solder with solderwick. Clean metal surfaces with abrasive or fine file. Resolder properly with resin core solder & appropriately sized soldering iron.
