Question Ebs???

Two weeks ago I made my EBPV into an exhaust brake. It works great. BUT... what are the odds of having a Exhaust Backpressure Sensor... and it throwing a code causing a CEL??

Yep, you have an exhaust backpressure sensor. Any code from PO470 through PO478 is EBPS related.

Check out ebay, I was having problems with mine (I guess they go out) and a company called spdiesel has a fix that eliminates the problem, it's also supposed to let you run more boost without defueling on top...30 bucks for the mod

Thanks for the help! That would make sense, and I figured that's what It had when I saw the extra tube leaving the passenger manifold and heading up to a plug in front of the engine. I guess that'll be my next purchase, just not sure about the cold-weather-package. The spdiesel site mentioned it being disable after installing this... I guess we'll see. I'm sure glad I put the LED inline with the EBPV sender, so I can see whenever the PCM has my EBPV engaged.
