Help with check engine code.

Just got my plugs changed. Truck is running great. My check engine light came on. Went to Autozone to check the code.
Troubleshooting P2106
OEM Brand: Ford

Definition: Throttle actuator control system- Forced limited power
Explanation: Throttle actuator control system is in FMEM mode of
forced limited power

Probable cause:

Open or short circuit condition
TACM motor stuck open or closed
Other system hard fault/failure
Any help about what this means?

According to the service manual this is an informational DTC that is accompanied by other DTC that explain why your truck is going into failure mode. Where there any other codes? If not, I'd reset the PCM by unhooking the battery for 30min and see if comes back.

If you disconnected power to change plugs, this erroneous code should just be erased.

Have the person who read the codes reset/clear them. Drive the truck and see if they return.

That was the only code. I disconnected the battery this morning. Will see if the CEL comes back on the way to work.
Thanks for the replys
