Throttle control system failure on 2016 Toyota 4runner. While driving the vehicle the orange service engine amd trac orange loght illuminated. Once that happen D the throttle body became totally non-responsive. No matter how much I pressed the throttle it was non-responsibilve. I was able to safely pull off the road. I had to restart the vehicle twice, on the second restart but the warning lights remained on but throttle appeared to be functioning normal. The dealership was able to replicate the issue and advised the vehicle was not safe to drive and provided a loaner. The service tech and service advisor explained how rare this is especially on a 12 month old vehicle with under 30K miles on it. They ordered a new throttle body and we'll see if it fixes the issue. Given Toyota's recent history with 'sudden accelleration' I thought I should report this just in case.
