300C srt8 engine light, no cruise control & other wierdn

[Bucky]

When I turn off esp, I noticed the 3 amber lights on the dash, but the parking brake light also stays on.

I noticed yesterday that the cruise control will not turn on.

Today, the engine light has been on every time I drive the car. And there was some freaky behaviour. I got onto the highway, and the car wouldn't get out of 3rd gear. I pulled over and turned off the car. When I turned the car back on, the problem was gone. This happened twice today.

The tune I have used is for high oct, CAI. That's the correct match for my car. The only other mods I did was esp off, fan settings and higher shift points. Every time I used the Predator, it worked fine, no error codes.

Its normal for the cruise not to work. With the ESP, BAS and whatever else off, it will never work, whether Predator tuned or not.

Thanks Mike
how about a bump for the other stuff. Happened again today, car drives in 3rd gear. When I turn off the car and turn it on again, problem goes away (until the next time I guess)

Your problem is that you're using the Predator to disable ESP. When you do this, you're also disabling the anti-lock brake system, including the yaw sensors. When you turn the steering wheel more than a certain number of degrees with the yaw sensors disabled, the ECM (or TCM) goes into limp mode and you're stuck in only one gear with no way to upshift or downshift until you clear the code or restart the engine.

I recommend you use the button on your dash to disable ESP instead of using the Predator for this.

Diablosport should really warn users that the "disable ESP" feature in the Predator disables a lot more than just the ESP and should only be used at the dragstrip.

Hope this helps.
