Can I just clean throttle body?

My son's 2015 golf tdi started displaying a CEL which wouldn’t go away.

The VCDS codes say this:

23010 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation System

P240F 00 [01100000] - Response too Slow. Intermittent - Not Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear

5290 - Throttle Actuator Control Circuit

P2100 00 [01100000] - Open Circuit

Intermittent - Not Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear

25744 - Catalyst System; Bank 1

P0420 00 [01100000] - Efficiency Below Threshold

Intermittent - Not Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear

8863 - Particulate Filter

P2459 00 [11101000] - Regeneration Frequency

MIL ON - Intermittent - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear

Freeze Frame:

Fault Priority: 2

Fault Frequency: 26

Mileage: 241844 km

Date: 2025.10.10

Time: 08:25:26

Can cleaning the throttle body help? (at least act as a point to start)
