H&S tunner question

ok guys i looked but cant find it again. I have mini h&s and was wondering when wanting to do live data inspection with engine running can you just unplug tunner and still run the engine or does it not work? Otherwise Idk how anyone would do it. If I remember right ive read and seen that someone can still drive and use truck with it unplugged just isnt at full power?

That is correct. When unplugged, you will gradually return to stock power.

Confirmed. Reverts to stock when the mini is unplugged or loses power.

O almost forgot to ask also, is does anyone think that the tunner caused or can cause this, i wouldnt think so but since everything goes through the pcm idk. Plus I havnt done the updated versions on mine since I bought it, was wondering what some of your opinions on this would be. Thanks again.

I suppose anything is possible, but I would highly doubt the tuner caused the battery light/alternator issue.

If you still have your stock batteries in your 2011, it is past the time for a change... Mine only lasted 3.5 years. And other's have posted here that they changed them within 3 years, you should be at least at 4 if not more than 4 years on yours. Just a thought...

Batteries are the first thing I usually check. All tested good, plus I can start up in any weather without plugging in and has no problems.

Run codes and see what pops up. You've ruled out the easy fix.

So.... Did you google it, go to Engine codes and see this:

Gives you things to check. Seeing as Monty (goldmedik) had a bad battery bolt, you might try checking those and see if you are getting a good battery connection if you have not done so already. Then check belts and wiring connections. If not, you may have a bad alternator. Not sure if they still do this, but some auto parts stores will check your alternator for free.

From Engine Codes:

Faulty battery
- Generator drive belt missing or loose
- Faulty Generator
- Generator harness is open or shorted
- Generator circuit poor electrical connection

What does this mean? What does this mean?

Tech notes

If the battery is OK then the alternator is more than likely the problem.
