Code P2620 Throttle Position code on 35d

My '10 35d (diesel) did some bucking as I pulled out of the driveway yesterday and the CEL came on eventually. My OBD scanner showed code P2620 which is "Throttle Position Output Circuit Open" so...

Speaking of which, has anyone figured out how to change the sensitivity of the sensor in the passenger seat? Mine is all too often set off by a sixpack of beer which causes the passenger seat belt...

So after a few days and more than 160 miles driven, still no sign of CEL and my code scanner doesn't show any pending codes. I guess that new air temp sensor fixed it and the dealership tried to rip...

They replaced the air temp sensor but when I picked the car up it was showing code P0405 which my code scanner says is "EGR Sensor A Circuit Low". This is different from the EGR-related code it was...

35d EGR valve?

Has anyone had it replaced? Did it fix the CEL or did they have to swap other parts?

Red car on pedestal light on dash?

I've seen this come on twice recently. It shuts off after a short while. What would be causing this? Could it be related to recent cold temps? Car functions normally as far as I can tell.

I haven't had time to take it to the dealer yet. I checked the PS fluid level and it says its full. I haven't seen any more red dots in the snow either so maybe it's a very small leak. I doubt the...

Thanks for the clarification. What is the capacity of the small reservoir? Also, when adding DEF, does it go into the small reservoir only or can it overflow into the large one?

No winter-related issues with my X35d either. I did have to add a gallon of DEF because the "No start in 999 miles" message came on even though the dealer filled it up in late October. Hopefully that...

It says ATF right on the cap. I looked in the owner's manual and it doesn't say what it's for. Anyone care to speculate? :D

How do I check the power steering fluid level? I checked the ATF level under the hood and it says it's full. Does the Power Steering use the same reservoir as the transmission?

Red fluid leak?

I just noticed some drops of red oily fluid in the snow this afternoon. The leak was basically under the front of the car, more or less centrally located. Does red indicate power steering or front...
