Mine while throwing the same screen message felt like a turbo hose had come off, so some sensor had a hiccup, so either the clearing of code or restart of engine or both sorted it out, no sense going to a dealer as they will plug it in, see nothing so declare nothing wrong....

Time for a dealer is when it chokes with the red engine light on and the tow truck carries it down the road.

Throttle control is managed by ECU juggling all the sensor data, air flow/temp/pressure in various spots, fuel temp/flow rate/pressures, eng oil temps/pressure, coolant temp, exhaust temps/pressures, EGR BS and foot position along with data from tranny and each road speed sensor and god knows what else, one hiccups and it can fall over, no actual module for it. ......

Yeah, I am going to take the ostrich approach with this, until it raises its head again
