Check Engine Light ON

Driving around today empty and noticed the check engine light on. You can see my mods in my sig. I was running Elites Tow-Power file. Truck seemed to be running fine. Called Elite, they asked if I was towing and if I have the EGR turned off. To my knowledge it is, but I also ordered the Tow file and ended up with the Tow-Power file, which I like, but hope it isn't too much for the truck when pulling. Any way I returned it to stock and checked for codes, nothing. Drove it to work (5miles) and no light, so I put the tune back in, 8 more miles no light. Elite said the EGR delete done with a tuner will throw some engine lights, with no codes??? We will see. Any other ideas? I spoke with Matt at Spartan (impressed), and am planning on doing the unlimited tunes with support when I get back from a 10 day drip in Sept. We are taking the truck, no trailer, so I hope this isn't something bad. Truck seems to be running fine, but was hoping to at least get a code. Thanks guys, and Matt for the info. I am looking forward to your tunes. Thanks, Levi

Did you check for codes before returning to stock? When you flash the truck back to stock it clears the codes.

That might explain the no codes. I couldn't find, or get to the menu to check the codes, but when it was back to stock the menu was right there. I may have messed that up. Levi

If a code shows up you can check it out, clear it and see if it returns. Not sure what Tadd told you, I never had a problem like that.

Didn't get to talk to Tadd, he was busy. I checked for codes with tune installed. Nothing yet. Thanks for the info. I wandered about setting it back to stock and codes. Now I know. Levi
