What does red lightning bolt on the dash mean?

Some common issues that can cause the light to come on are: A problem with the throttle position sensor A problem with the accelerator pedal position sensor A problem with the electronic throttle control system itself The red lightning bolt on the dash indicates a problem with the electronic throttle control system. If the light is flashing, it means that the system is malfunctioning. The electronic throttle control system controls the engine's throttle body. This system is made up of sensors and actuators that work together to control the amount of air that enters the engine. So, when the system is not working correctly, it can cause the engine to run rough or stall. In some cases, it can also cause the engine to accelerate on its own.
