Throttle Position Sensor And ECM

Hello I was wondering if this is just a TPS issue or possibly an ECM issue as well.
I have the EPC, CEL, Exclamation, and wrench icons.

What happens when you start the car? Does it start then run like hell and then die? Did you just do anyhing to it which required unplugging the throttle body? And if so did you accidently forget to reconnect it?

I accidently started the car with my TB disconnected and my dash lit up like a christmas tree.

I suspect this is a wiring issue. Check your wiring around the ECU and leading to the TB and look for damage or loose connection. Check your baterry connections as well.

I replaced the throttle body and verified the cords aren't damaged.

I attempted to follow this guide but when clicking ON/OFF/NEXT it doesn't appear to do anything.
The numbers just clear for a second and it just goes back to showing the status.
The Throttle body adjustment says it's OK.

CEL / ECC light went away.
Drives ok. Tested it out on the hwy for about 30 min.
Scan shows the following still. Not sure if codes are from before. I already cleared them but they are still there.
I have had this happen before, so I will drive it for awhile and see if the codes are there after a week.

[update] 7-1-19
Car has been fine since the throttle body replacement. I haven't had to do anything else, and I haven't had a code since.
Remember, the code didn't go away immediately. I had to drive it a few times.
