Default Red Lightning Bolt Of Death

I’ve seen just about every post about people having this issue, but never seeing the actual fix. That being said, I am having this issue where I my 2007 Wrangler JK Unlimited X 2wd is idling rough throwing the red lightning bolt and traction control light on the dash. Turn the key off and back on it goes away for a little bit. I’ve already changed the throttle body, PCV valve, spark plugs and wires, checked battery grounds even got a new battery. I’ve heard it can be a pedal sensor, or linked to bad alternator?
Anyways, I know it’s a pretty common problem for the 2007-2008 Wrangler models, but i’ve never found the solution so any insight would be great. Thanks
