Check Engine Light / S/W Update Required

My check engine light came on yesterday and the car went into 'limp home' mode. Had it towed today to any independant who upon futher inspection diagnosed the throttle body as the culprit. Before replacing it he got in touch with a mechanic friend at a GM dealership who indicated that a S/W update (of some sort) needed to be performed at the GM dealership first which may preclude the need for a new throttle body. The independant mechanic indicated that he has seen this update solve a similar problem on a '99 9-5. Couldn't give me exact details on the S/W update only that not updating it could give off faulty throttle body symptoms.
Does anyone have any details on what this S/W update is and how it may avoid having to replace the throttle body?
Thank you in advance for any feedback,
Steven '01 9-5 (88,000 kms)
