Same thing happened to me. The codes I generated indicated it could be a short in the throttle body wiring. Dealer ended up replacing the connector pins on the throttle body. Hasn't happened since and no codes thrown since first occurrence and subsequent fix at dealer.

One other thing to check. Take off your seat and make sure your ECM wires are securely connected.

It has happened to me.

I'm having the same issue. I got the bulletin, changed out all the connectors at the plug, but I'm still having the problem.

I guess the next step is to check the plug under the seat.

good thing, you can check the connectors and replace them w/o removing the tank. make sure you use some dielectric grease -- I they have updated the throttle body module -- 3 or 4 times = different part number
