TRAC OFF, Check Engine
Welp, on the way to drop my kids off at school, I noticed the throttle was very sluggish. Had to mash it to the floor to get it going.
Then, the TRAC OFF light and CHECK ENGINE light came on.
I parked, walked the kids in and then came back out to the car. Lights are still on, but the throttle seems to be responsive now.
A brief internet search turns up dozens of possible causes, none of which seem to be applicable to my situation.
2016 GX lux, 27,000 miles, and I JUST had it serviced at the dealer 45 days ago.
Any ideas?

EGR Valve is covered under normal manufacture warranty (not the secondary air injection extended warranty). But based on your model year and mileage on the clock, your manufacture new car warranty will still cover that.

I have the platinum service agreement good through 2022 as well. Should be covered.
Is there anything specific I should say to get them to come pick it up? I might just wait until tomorrow when they have a loaner.

No. Dealer will scan the code to determine the issue, It is likely to return the code of P006A.

OK. So.... based on a long shot comment I found during my search, I decided to check my gas cap. It was loose, and I did just get gas the last time I drove it. I unscrewed it completely, and then tightened it to first click.
Still had the check engine light on when I drove to pick up dinner.
However, when I drove home, the light was off.
It's been off ever since.
Coincidence? I have no idea. I'll check codes tomorrow.
