Car stopped and it says on the display electronic throttle control...
Engine wont start, no leakage of any sort.
Towed to Jeep and they "think" broken timing belt????

I doubt its your timing belt, Should be throttle body related.

Could be a broken intake valve spring. It happened to me and threw a p2172 and p2173. Rough idle and dies immediately.

Was it costly?
Was it costly?
If the valve didn't drop down into the piston, then no it's not costly. You just need a valve spring and valve cover gaskets.

But you might want to change all the springs like I did.

Get the car out of that shop right now. SRT does not have a timing belt 😂

Your best bet would be the MDS system failure, I have no idea of the shop hourly rates in Sweden, but imma bet you are looking at 15 to 25k SEK.
White is right( that didn't come out well) state what type of jeep you have please. All grand cherokees have timing chains. There was a recall about a decade ago for a slew of tensioner failures, that was a covered repair.....
Chain of course

Not trying to start any $hit here, but you did start a post claiming belt
From sweden, misspelled
If you have an interruption in the throttle body circuitry, it would throw this code, possibly along with the "lightning bolt" symbol
It’s at the Jeep dealership but they seem to have little experience..
Any news on this?
At the shop 3 weeks, no answer
