I believe that's the potentiometer in the throttle pedal. First thing to do is check the connections to it.

I almost bought a peddle ,unplugged the connector,sprayed WD all over ,reconnected,
removed the air filter ,sprayed the maf and pipe work with carb cleaner, (oiled K&N) read that could be an issue
reset the light,not been back all week ?? strange
