Default Question about throttle body?

Hello, I recently got the check engine light and traction blinking. Pull up a code P0505.

My car seems fine, runs good, idle seems right, no fluctuation.

Could it be the throttle body is dirty? Would this solve my problem for code P0505?


My question, is it safe to clean the throttle body? Should I unplug the battery first and take out the throttle body and clean it thoroughly?

Would this effect my idle for the best or for the worst?

How does the idle relearning work?

Last question, how do I find out if I have a vacuum leak? Eventhough my car doesn't seem like there's a leak.
