use the modify stock option and just select the AFM disable.

the tpsm code is resolved i had a tire pressure sensor go out i got a new one had it installed and its resolved . the cat codes p0420 and p0430 was perplexing they were pretty consistent in canned tune but after running 100 octane 11.999 $ a gal lol and running the diablo octane tune it ran great no codes i ran a full tank no codes and i data logged , the only way i could run with no codes other than a diablo tune was stock with afm enabled with 100 octane in manual so afm wasnt trying to adjust injectors , im going to email lew the log and see what yall say. my tech ran multiple scans with a professional snap on scanner the cats were all within spec as were the upstream and downstream o2 sensors , but i had new downstream o2 sensors and a map sensor so we replaced them all with no visible change in the scan #s .my tech isnt just some shady tree mechanic he was the main tech at nor cal mopar and ASE. master in chevy, mopar, and 10 other makers hes very sharp and hes at a loss

thank you mike for the response i do appreciate your time this is VERY. frustrating and time consuming

If you load the tune that seems to cause the codes and get them to come back, Id love to look at the 'last tune written' from the device at that point.
