Unhappy Service Engine Soon (emission control)

I have a 2003 Excurision 7.3 Power Stroke with the HyperTech Power Programmer 111 on stage 3 for the past 4 month and just today the Service engine soon light came on while driving. The book says it has to do with emission control systems. Is this just coming on due to the HyperTech? So I worry about this? I am Leaving Monday on vaction and I do not know what to do.

You need to get the code. Can the hypertech unit pull codes?

There will still be a code stored. You can read it in the diagnostics section of your tuner.

You won't get much help with an attitude like that.
Nor will we spoon feed you. Do some homework and we will be more than happy to help.

The "Daddy what's a spark plug?" is a poke at gas engine trucks. I'm a bona-fide diesel nut, thier sound is music to my ears especially when they are working at 100% on a steep hill for miles on end.
Turbo whistlin', exhaust pipe bellowing, exhaust blowing leaves and small rodents off into the ditch...... you get the picture?
