P2138 is APP sensor. P2197 is O2 sensor stuck lean, but it may just be an artifact of the car going into limp mode. Fix the APP sensor first, then clear the codes and see if you get another MIL.

You can replace the APP sensor yourself. Very easy. Cost is about $130. Here's one link, but do a forum search for "P2138" and/or "APP sensor". Someone has posted a DIY for APP sensor replacement:

The APP sensor is #2 in this diagram:
