From the manual:
DTC 1516
# Inspect the TAC module connectors for signs of water intrusion. If
water intrusion occurs, multiple DTCs may set without any circuit or
component conditions found during diagnostic testing.
# Verify that the starting and charging systems are operating properly.
Low system voltage can cause this DTC to set.
# When the TAC module detects a condition within the TAC system, more
than 1 TAC system related DTC may set. This is due to the many redundant
tests run continuously on this system. Locating and repairing an
individual condition may correct more than 1 DTC. Disconnecting
components during testing may set additional DTCs. Remember this if you
review the stored information in Capture Info.

TAC is Throttle Actuator Control DTC is Diagnostic Trouble Code.

This is the Circuit Description as stated in the manual.

The predicted throttle position (TP) is compared to the actual throttle
position. The two values should be within a calibrated range of each
other. Both the powertrain control module (PCM) and the throttle
actuator control (TAC) module redundantly monitor the predicted and
actual throttle position. This DTC sets if the PCM detects an out of
range condition between the predicted and actual throttle position.
