My 2015 echo just turned over 60K and the yellow engine light and red electronic throttle came on simultaneously. The engine lost power so I parked it. Not sure where to look or call the tow truck/dealer. I just came off a 7000 mile trip with no problems but noticed the mileage was getting worse-aprox 18-20 mpg highway at 70mph. I keep the servicing per dealer recommendations and with full synthetic. Any ideas.

I am currently waiting on code reading availability here in this remote area. Also, will it harm the vehicle if I drive a short distance ( 20 miles) with the engine light and "ck electronic throttle cable" light on? The light came on after a short stop and with restarting. There was significant power loss along with the lights. I drove the unit aprox 10 miles home. Thank you,

Yes, in warranty. I purchased the extended bumper to bumper when I bought the truck with 50K+- and at 60k this issue has come up. Is it a "take to the delaer/shop issue. I live in a bit of a remote area and drive hundreds of miles a day. Also, does anyone know how tho cycle the ignition(to ck the engine code without meter) when there is the romote key and knob for electronic shifting,
