Chech Engine light on ?

Post by jims327 »

I just purchesed a 2003 F250 with a 7.3ltr motor, It already had the Diablo U7170 installed in it, It was set to the 100+ performance, All worked well and ran great, I re-set it to the 85 setting for fuel economey, Once I started down the road, the check engine light came on, The only thing I had changed was the Diablo setting, So I set it back to the 100+ setting, and the light went out, Do I need to change or do something different to the diablo setting when going to the 85 econo setting ? nothing is wrong with the truck, just the check enging light

When I pulled it up it said P0602, P0605, P1211 and P1690 are normal for tuned, and it came up with a P0603 which say's PowerTran control module Keep Alive Memory (KAM), I've cleared the KAM but it cames back, Do I have to worry about this and is it OK to run with the "Service Engine Light" on Sorry, But I'm new at the Diablo programer

Post your original backup and last tune written with both the 85hp and the 100+hp files. I will take a look.

I don't have the 9 pin cable yet, I'll have to wait, I will also have to learn on how to transfer to the computer, I think I read something at the welcome page.

Is there any way to keep the engine light off? It is annoying and if anything else does go wrong i really will not know because the light is already on(unless I scan it every once in a while). By the way, I did scan it and it comes up about the EGR. I do have the Sinister delete kit on it.

You will need a custom tune to keep the light off.

How much would a custom tune cost? Also, right now the predator has the tow, economy, and performance tunes. Would I need to get a custom tune for each one if I want the light to be off? I manly use the performance tune though. By the way, do I have to worry about anything else on the truck like injectors and that when I'm running these tunes? Thank you.

One more quick question. How would I recieve these custom tunes? Do I have to send my programmer in to use or is it in a download format?
