Interesting bc I cleaned the TB in situ, did not even touch the electrical connector.

And it ran fine for a while. Will check it when I have time.

So I removed the Throttle Body and cleaned it again.

The connector seems fine...

The trick to avoid damaging the plastic connector...use a very small screwdriver and insert it in to push the plastic tabs away from TB. A small coffee stirrer is ok too.
Just remember the connector has 2 tabs, one on each side.

Then cleaned the connectors with a small spray of carb cleaner.

Cleared the codes mentioned above.

All is fine for now, but the causes of this event may never be found...

I just read the thread below.

Anyone here has plastic gear/potentiometer issue?
My 2006 S60 has only 102K miles, too early for these issues?

Anyway, mine was 1 time event...for now!
