I'm far from an expert on this but as I understand, whenever there is a serious fault in the car (low oil pressure, one of the O2 Sensors not working, etc.) the Limp mode is tripped as well as a CEL and a code.
The Limp mode basically engages the throttle cable mechanically to the throttle body and thus you loose TCS and Cruise as both of these allow the computer to control the decoupled throttle.
If were my car I would avoid driving it until the CEL code is pulled with a OBD2 reader. This should tell you what tripped the CEL and what's wrong.
I've reset the throttle body myself once once but it's been so long ago that I'm of little help, sorry.
