Excursion 6.0 Sct doesn’t turn off

SCT x4 on 6.0 Excursion does not turn off even after truck is shut down.
It will stay on indefinitely.

Any thoughts?

Yes, there's 12V ALWAYS ON ----> OBD2 Port Pin 16.

I'd chuck that POS, they're illegal and breaking most federal and state laws.

I have other sctx4 on other trucks that turn off after awhile.

sorry to disagree but the Sct tuner itself is not illegal in any state or federally

They're totally illegal -

SCT already got "spanked" ($300K fine for violating laws) and I understand the EPA wants a lot more blood from them. The following enforcement actions were done under the Trump Administration, Biden's EPA will be even tougher so I expect that SCT will get schwacked even harder later:

I use mine for the gauges. 😊

They are not illegal to own.
