still driving around and the problem is still there...

I am starting to think it could be somehow related to throttle body. could be throttle butterfly position sensor or acceleration pedal sensor.

I figured it out after this driving scenario:
Started the car, handbrake light on, trac off blinking.
After driving around till car heats up I was doing some skids on snow flooring the gas pedal (traction control is not working, and I have not touched the off button) after few skids trac. control kicks in and handbrake light disappears, and everything is back to normal, no warning lights, trac is working, on/off button working...

after some time of normal driving faults appear again, and after few manipulations with accelerator pedal problem sometimes disappears, sometimes not...

My guess is that one of two outputs on TPS or APS is failing and that is why it is giving code, but throttle body still operates fine.

lets see what else I will come up with Smile

I was low on brake fluid after all, lol...
level was few milimeters above minimum and I tought that should not trigger warning light... I guess I was wrong Smile
added little bit and no warning lights since then.
