Please provide more detail on the scenario. What system or systems were you accessing with the XTool prior to discovering the issue? When you say "nothing happen" do you mean the engine does not increase in engine speed? If you depress the accelerator while in Park does the engine speed increase? Is the red lightning bolt appearing on the information center when you start the truck? Did you happen to go into the throttle calibration with the XTool, and maybe enter the throttle calibration without following through?

I think I erased all memory when I get in the truck. The truck starts right up but when I put it in drive or in park and hit the accelerator The engine speed doesn’t increase and yes, I have the red lighting bolt On the dash and the XTool It’s not giving me an option to do a throttle calibration and thank you for your help.

The red lightning bolt indicator is indicating an issue with the electronic throttle. Have you used the XTool to scan for active diagnostic codes across the systems? I would expect the throttle to be part of the Powertrain system, but it could also show up in the Instrument Cluster or maybe even the Body Control Module.

Your scanner should be able to do it, otherwise, disconnect the battery open a door, leave it sit for five minutes or so, close the door.... hook the battery back up, and if your truck actually uses a key, turn the truck to 'on', not start, count to ten, then start the truck. That gives the PCM a chance to learn the zero values for various sensors.

I agree, you have a lot of codes showing up as stored versus active, so at a minimum clear the diagnostic codes and see what remains. Also, some of the codes shown could be related to low voltage, so make sure your battery is charged up and then clear the codes again.
