Honda Rincon 680 Throttle / Gear Problem

So I have a Honda Rincon 680

When Riding in either automatic or Manual shifting the Display shows my gears
ok.. correct to the gear.

When I back off the throttle just even the slightest amount, the Bike drops out of gear and displays — on the display

And I have to restart the bike to get going again.

I’m suspicious of the throttle position sensor going open circuit
and causing the computer to kick everything out?

Anyone have any suggestions or experienced something like this?
