Predator Programmer Engine Light

Hi this is my first to this site. I have 02 7.3 with a new Predator Programer. I toe a 11,000 lb fifth wheel. The problem I have is when toeing up hills with the toe safe 40 HP program my engine light comes on periodically. Dealer checked and no engine problems. Dealer staes it is the extra boost from the programmer causing this. Does anyone else have this problem????

What is your code? Do you have any other mods?

I had a problem running with only an AEM intake, no tuner. It was reporting that I was running too lean...Whenever I got on it hard I could throw the light.

I don't have that problem with a Volant.

Hi just getting back from dealer. The codes were cleared by the dealer who stated the code show a boost problem which normally shows up with customers using programers. Dealer checked the engine and did not find any problems. I do not have any other mods with the exception I have a Magum Force air filter. Dealer suggested that using the 40 hp program should not hurt the engine the sensor is tripping due to more boost with the program. Does this make sense??
