You need to use a scan tool to reset the throttle position sensor to the idle position. Generally, this code sets if you clean the throttle body or if the throttle body has been replaced or the position sensor in it is showing defects. Many of the aftermarket scan tools will read this code and can walk you through the reset process. It cannot be done without a scan tool on a Toyota. Unlike others where disconnecting the battery erases the learned values that doesn't always work on the Toyotas without causing other faults due to disconnecting the battery.
You can try it though if you wish, just don't be surprised if other codes come up. For the reset, disconnect the negative battery cable. Let the car set for about 5 minutes. Reconnect and see if it has erased the code. Now if this resets everything it will take some driving for it to relearn the various sensor inputs again.
