Limp mode on My 06 dodge charger RT

Post by Geophrum »

SO i got my new trinity today and updated it, then went out to the car like a kid on Christmas day.. I loaded a 93 CAI tune as i use Sunoco 93 gas in the car and went smooth.. notices that the ESP light was solid and my brake and ABS lights were coming on and off .. as siin as i took off the car went directly into Limp mode. So i stop and turned on dyno mode... well no limp mode and car ran fine.. turned dyno mode off and still in limp mode.. I put the original tune back on and car is fine.. put 91 CAI tune on and again limp mode.. I will look in the forums for more help but i wanted to know if there was any thing quick i can look for.

Please help
John

No tire change, didnt do anything with Traction control

I think i may have found the problem Does the trinity work wth the Jet Performance control module? The person that owned the car before me had this put it.. and i was not aware of it.. I took it out but now it is saying that the trinity is not compatable and gives me the CALID numbers

PCM
05094779AL
TCM
04692392AD

Any Ideas?

No they don't work together. The Jet is really just a paperweight, but supposedly it changes something so it can't work with another tuner.

Put on the latest version of the software and the newest Incremental update and it should work. Theres no reason why it would work before but won't after removing the Jet.

OK fixed that issue.. had to plug in the Jet and unplug it again and i was able to program and tune the car.. no clue but it worked.. Also set the tire size to the stock winter tires i have on there.. now i have another issue.

ESP/BAS lights up and the ABS and Break lights light up and Ding at me ONLY when the trinity is plugged in. I can program it with the annoying ding and lights it takes the tune then i unplug the trinity and start the car.. no lights and no ding. if i try to drive with the trinity plugged in.. limp mode i cannot get out of first gear. so i have it unplugged and it works great.. but now i am wondering why i bought the trinity when I can only use it like a predator?

Any idea on whats happening.. Why can't i have this plugged in?

Diagnostic comes up with U0121 Unknown

Are there any logs or test that I can do to find the problem.. if it is with the trinity, cable or the obdII connector, can-bus.

the car takes a tune and I can scan codes. I can modify everything. when it is in the monitoring works and i see the oil pressure rpms and all of that work..

What does the U0121 unknown code mean?

Also is there something I can change to make the MDS not feel so "clunky"
