It is unlikely because this code is actually for the accelerator pedal position sensor which is on the pedal and not on the throttle body. So it would not be effected by the cleaning of the throttle body.

I attached the testing that you will need to run through in order to figure out what is needed.

Let's run through this testing and see what we find.

Here is a guide that will help with the testing:
