missing tunes

Post by bruttus »

After powering up my new U7170 for my 02 F250 PSD. It asked which tune I would like to install. I noticed on the list there were only 3 tunes available, Tow, 85 performance and 110 performance. The instruction manual states that there should be 5 tunes. I am missing, 60 economy and alltidude tunes. Did I do some thing wrong? I wanted to try the 60 economy tune first, however I installed the 85 performance tune and was impressed with the power gain but not with the check engine light comming on and off every five minites. After running a code check with the tool, It showed these codes,P0602, P0603, P0605, P1211, P1240, P1690. Could some one explain these codes to me and tell me where my 2 other tunes are? The tool Rev. is 9R04 and the cal.ID is TNAA7W3 also the serial #is 249791 on the tool. thanks

well then why do they advertise that there is 5 tunes on this programmer and also in the ownwrs manual it states there are 5 tunes? How long ago did you purchase your tuner? I just got mine yesterday from Concoures Direct with the latest rev.

do you get a check engine light while running these tunes? I think tommorow I will try to clear the codes and drive the truck for a few more days to see if that works.

In the past I would throw the over-boost code.I made a boost fooler for the Map Sensor and set it to 21 Psi.No more codes...

I reinstalled the original factory tune today and cleared the codes. Then I installed the 85 hp tune again and the check engine light was on again so I cleared the codes again with the tune still in and the light came on as soon as I started the truck. The programmer said these codes are normal for a tuned vehicle, so does this mean that every one with a preditor tuned vehicle is driving with a intermiten check engine light?? I guess I will call Tech support and try to figure this thing out.

sorry for the delay. I worked day shift today. codes are as follows; P0602 P0603 P0605 P1211 P1690. Programmer states that codes have been cleared each time but as soon as I start the truck the light is back on. After driving until engine reaches normal temp then the light goes out, but If I take my foot off the accel pedal it comes back on for about 5 min or so. I like the tune and the power but this light is driving me nuts! Could someone help me out? or should I just call tech support?

i am wondering the same thing as bruttus.. i also only have the 3 tunes and just bought mine about a month ago. where can i get these other 2 tunes that are missing? and where can i get, or how can i make a custom tune? ive read the custom tune instructions and understand how to put them on the tuner but i dont understand how to acquire them in the first place.
this is really pissing me off. seems like a little bit of false advertisement to say it'll have all 5 tunes but then only come with 3..
please please help.

The old altitude tune was a waste of space as the truck compensates for altitude in the programming....the 65 tune was removed as we were able to get the same mileage out of the 85 tune with better power, thus it was simple to replace it.
