lightning bolt light

i started my truck this morning (33 degrees outside) and when i set the high idle on cruise control the little red lightning bolt came on. truck runs fine but the light is still on. i think the light means electronic throttle control but cant remember b/c i dont have my manual with me. can anyone give me a quick fix or ideas?
