What happens here

The white pickup truck, 'Elvis,' which is used for towing the red Suburban, experiences a 'Reduce Engine Power' warning. To resolve this, identify and remove the faulty throttle pedal assembly. This involves disconnecting the electrical connectors and unbolting the pedal from the firewall. Replace it with a new throttle pedal assembly sourced from a donor truck, connecting the electrical plugs and securing the mounting bolts. Finally, start the truck and use a scan tool to clear any lingering engine codes.

Goal: Fix the 'Reduce Engine Power' issue on the tow vehicle.
