I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and my ETC light comes on after a few minutes of starting ?

How do you reset the electronic throttle control on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?"); display: inline-block; height: 24px; width: 24px; margin-top: -1px; transform: rotateZ(-180deg);">
Resetting your electronic throttle control manually can be a tricky job. First, make sure the accelerator pedal is fully released. Next, turn the ignition on and then turn it off and wait for ten seconds. During these ten seconds, be sure the throttle valve is moving by listening for a sound of operation.

Transmission

I would check fluid level first then look at your motor mounts; if they are bad the transmission linkage is being affected and could be shifting it into neutral temporarily.
