Service Electronic Throttle Control

[bigwidge]

I have a 2019 Ram Big Horn V8, and have seen this error code a total of 3 times now. When it occurs, the truck starts to hesitate and be very sluggish, and rattles a bit. I am unable to get up to speed. The dash says "Service Electronic Throttle Control". After stopping the vehicle and restarting, the error goes away and the truck drives normally. The check engine light will remain on for 2-3 days, then disappears. Has anyone else encountered this? Could this be a bad wire or sensor? TIA!

never experienced this. Does the truck also get a check engine light? Any codes?

It does throw a check engine light after that message pops up, which will stay there for about 3 days then clears. I'm not sure if it throws a code or not, I don't have a reader unfortunately.

Gotcha. You’ll have to read the stored code I’m afraid
