Brake EML DSC 2CF6 2D09

This has been covered before, but I just want to get a new post in here to boost search results for the similarly afflicted.

Got the infamous three of yellows today.
Luckily I was only a mile from home, but it was a long limp mile.
Started the car in Lowes parking lot and got yellow Brake, EML, DSC, and SES lights.
Tried rebooting a few times, but no luck.
Limped home and hit it with the Peake Research scanner.
2CF6 - Throttle Position Sensor 1
2D09 - Throttle Actuator

Thanks to zpost forumites, and given that my Duralast Platinum H6-AGM was about 2 months from its 5th birthday I went up to AutoZone and grabbed a new one.

Fixed. Throttle system was fine.
Unfortunately I didn't have my iPod with me since it was just a short hop to the store, so I don't know what the loaded bus Voltage was.
Oddly it ran fine a few years ago when the alternator failed and I was down to 10.7 V.
Touchy little things.

Great idea to boost the search potential on this cause and cure. It's great that the collective knowledge here can address issues so effectively.
