Im hoping somone on here can help me out.
Ive got a 2013 ram 1500 3.6 tradesman. It started throwing a throtte body warning⚡️(red lightning bolt) in town driving is dodgey at best(get it ..dodgey lol) the truck will idel normaly for a bit and the the rpms will fluctuate a bit before it will idel higher a little bit more consistently before throwing the code. Though not the same process it happenes on the highway as well. I can pull over shut the truck off turn it on and usually drive away. Ive found manually keeping the truck in a lower gear helps and putting it in nuetral at light does to but not always. Ive replaced the throttle body airfilter cant seem to figure it out.
Also i cant seem to find anything concrete about a reset? Is that just a nade up thing?
Id appreciate whatever help i can get

I would suggest that next time you drive by an Auto Parts Store.
Stop & request for them to use their scan tool to look for any Stored Codes.
Also have them do a Battery LOAD Test

Write down any DTCs, Dodge Trouble Codes
Then you can research the fix

This code list & how to fix list is the best that i have found online
