VSA, Check engine light, no acceleration

2008 TL Type S 75K miles

This morning while driving about 45mph the VSA light came on and the navi gave a message saying there was a problem VSA but the brakes will work normally, turn the car off then on again to clear. Stopped at a red light and when I gave it gas I could on get up to about 15mph with it floored. After turning off then on again it ran normally but now I have a check engine light. Going to take it in later to check codes but wanted to see if anyone else had this issue?

Thank in advance.

Just ran to the bank. When I got in had code P2138 which is for throttle? After driving for 15 mins codes are gone and the check engine light went off.
