You may want to check the wire to the TB and trace it back to the PCM to verify it is not broken, you may also want to verify the fuse is not blown as well. Also check to make sure the air intake hose to the TB is tight. If the hose is loose and sucking in air it will think the MAF sensor is bad. If those are ok, then try disconnecting the negative battery cable for at least 15 mins?

The 03's and up are "drive by wire", which means that there is no cable to the throttle body. When you press on the pedal it sends the infomation to the computer and the computer will determine how much throttle to engage
