Take a look at the spring on the left side of your throttle assembly, where the cable from the pedal goes in to it. There's a spring there which can be adjusted. lift up the tail on the left /bottom (little tab of spring sticks out), rotate the black plastic assembly in the direction that adds spring tension. Start with one notch. Not sure I can describe the base setting of mine without pictures. > When this happens I feel a bit of rough operation of the accelerator > pedal.

I'd say that since you have the means to read and clear the codes, adjust the mechanical problem that you can, and see if the other code goes away. The throttle assembly isn't too much of a PITA to replace but it's not cheap. The local specialist told me "sometimes resetting it takes care of things" but obviously that doesn't address the root cause of why it jumped a notch in the first place. Let us know what you find, please. More data we have on this beastie the better. Dave Hinz
