Autozone will check and read the code for you for free. They cant reset it, but at least you will know if the issue is serious or not.

Just do the brake stomp or disconnect the battery for ten minutes.

If it comes back... then check the cap on the TB. Make sure it did not fall off or is cracked.

Also check to make sure everything is tight.

Get with me whenever dude, I have a couple of code readers. Come to think of it, get with the "other Juan" he has one of mine right now. But likely if everything as installed correctly then it will correct itself.
