I had the same problem with the electronic throttle. It is caused by "mashing" the gas pedal...It has a type of rev limiter that doesn't allow the rpms to get high enough to hurt the engine. You just can't put the pedal to the floor-especially when the engine is under strain, such as when going up a steep hill.

Here are your dash warning lights. The lightning bolt is Electronic Throttle Control, and you can't drive without that. Not sure that your sail and sun is unless it is the Cold Ambient Derate Mode Indicator
You need a local auto electrician. you can't guess stuff like this, it needs a pro grade scan tool computer.

2010 Chrysler Sebring Limited won't start?

The flashing bolt is the issue. You need a mobile auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer.

https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me

The lightning bolt warning light alerts you to a fault in the electronic throttle control system in your vehicle. This may be a faulty throttle body, the throttle body sensor or possibly the throttle body control motor which is what controls the opening and closing of the throttle body as the motor requires more fuel.

2003 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L throttle body trouble!

Buy a can of electrical switch cleaner and spray both the male and female connectors on all those items involved.

If that doesn't fix it, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer who can scan for communication issues and record the Live Data as it happens and what made the electronic throttle indicator light come on.

https://dashboardsymbols.com/2010/11/electronic-throttle-control/
Electronic Throttle Control Indicator This is the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator symbol. This light, a lightning bolt between reversed brackets or parenthesis, will illuminate if there is a problem in the electronic throttle control system. As an electronic system, it can sometimes be reset with a restart.

What does a lightning bolt on dash mean on a 2006 vw beatle?

It means there is a "Diagnostic Trouble Code" Stored in your On Board Diagnostic System.

Your On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System is a computer that monitors the sensors and readings of your vehicle.

So the light means "Something weird is going on.". If you want to know what that is, you'll need to have the vehicle scanned using an OBD scanner. There are tools for sale to the public, and every dealership has these. AutoZone also has a scanner they can use to help you identify what part to buy to fix the problem.
