It appears you need a TPS throttle position sensor.

What prompted you to run codes?

Got the same scanner. I like it too
Just rethinking maybe check the wires going to the TPS...maybe one er two is ....compromised.

then look at the wires going to the connector itself. Make sure that they are solid...not corroded, frayed or broken.
