=============

Had the same issue on my 09 FLHTCU that was a combined fretting/wear/corrosion issue within the connector located
behind the air cleaner that plugs onto the throttle body
so chk that out.

HD makes a retrofit kit to address that issue.

I had this happen on my way to Myrtle Beach. rolled into Myrtle Beach HD and they took care of me right away....Very good dealership by the way. Turns out the fly by wire throttle control sleeve was bad. Bike was throwing codes off and on all the way to myrtle from CT. So either change that or take it to your dealer cause like me if you carry a warranty its worth the $50 you'll spend.

That happened to mine 4-5 years ago and the dealer replaced the twist grip sensor under warranty. Had some codes pop up last summer for the throttle by wire, cleaned the connector on the side of the throttle body behind the air intake and the codes haven't come back since. I would start with cleaning the connector on the throttle body first. You can get electrical contact cleaner at a auto parts store. Cheaper and easier than replacing the twist grip sensor unless your bike has a extended warranty.
