Question Trouble Codes - HELP!

I had my truck at the shop getting the codes run to find out why my OD light was flashing (turned out to be metal deposits on the speed sensor) and they came up with several other codes that I need some help on. I have a DP Tuner on the truck and all of the tunes were "no code" tunes.
The first two were P0603 and P0605 which I was told I'm getting because of the tuner...confused about that one...
second was P0476, then C1446, B1575, and B1352. All help would help greatly.
Thanks everyone.

If you don't notice any malfunction,I would clear the switch codes and see if they reappear

B1352 Doesn't have anything to do with your ignition switch per say. I got the B1352 after doing the "key in ignition chime delete mod".

Are your parking lamps working? If so don't change the lamp switch.

I've got no help for the C1446 Brake Switch Circuit Failure Open or Shorted to Ground unless this might refer to the switch on the emergency brake. That is a plunger type switch and sometimes malfunctions and does not turn on the e-brake dash light. Do you get the e-brake dash light when e-brake is engaged?

Yes the parking lights are working fine and the e-brake light does come on when the e-brake is engaged. I do have one or two third brake light bulbs out on my shell, could that set the B1575?

I doubt it. But it could possibly have something to do with the C1446. Disconnect the brake lamp on shell before you clear the codes and see if it comes back.

Do you get a chime when key is in ignition and door is openned?

Yes. All of the chimes work. I double checked all of the lights and parking lights and the only bulb that is out is in the third brake light. I just have to get it out to change it which is proving to be quite a chore. I think that they glued it in.
I think that I will pull the brake switch and hit it with the multi-meter and see if there is a problem that I can find.
The code B1352 Ignition Key-in Circ Failure – Instr Clstr? is really starting to bother me though. That one I don't understand. The key isn't a chipped key. What else would set that code, a bad ignition switch?

I have had the B1352 for over 18 months since doing the key in ignition chime delete and it doesn't affect anything. I don't even worry about it.
Having any code present can be worrisome but if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Have you had the codes cleared? If not, do so, and see if any of them come back.

Yea, they cleared the codes after looking at the truck. I'm going to check them again this weekend to see what came back.
Does anyone know why I'm getting the P0603 and P0605 codes? When I bought the DP Tuner from Jody he recommended the "no codes" tunes, which I bought, and the guy at the shop told me those two codes are set by the tuner... Should I call Jody?
It just seems like everything is starting to go wrong on the truck. I just rebuilt the transmission a month ago, the HPOP is leaking from the non serviceable plug (shortly after the dealership re-sealed the darn thing...hmmm), my power steering started to leak, and they found metal shavings in the rear diff that was covering the speed sensor and causing my OD light to flash and my speedo to read funny. I just turned 207,600 miles and other than the water pump going out a few times and the tranny, I really haven't had anything go wrong with it.
Just a little sad about it all... Kinda like when one of my kids are sick...

Those two P60X codes are caused by a tuner. The P603 will also set anytime you remove power from the PCM as in disconnecting the batts or removing the PCM fuse. It is stored in the KAM (Keep Alive Memory) and if I am not mistaken the codes in KAM are not reset by a general reset. On AE there is a separate function to clear the KAM. This may also be true for the P605. You will have to email Diane or Jody to find out if these are part of a "No codes tune".

Don't get discouraged. After 217k things are not new anymore.

I would say the Dealership owes you a free re-do on the non-serviceable plug. If they can't get it done right and you want to make the 200 mile trip to Payson we can fix it. I've had my HPOP in and out 3 times now. I'm starting to get good at it.

Cheer UP, It's a beautiful day.

Oh yeah, it is a beautiful day out. No, I'm not discouraged by any means, this is just another challenge to overcome. Hell, if it were a Fox-Body Mustang I could tell you any nut and bolt size where it goes and how many and do it in my sleep, but the diesel thing is still all wonder and magic smoke to me. I'm learning though!! (I'm actually fixing the C4 tranny in my race/street car today...)
As far as the HPOP, they told me that I would have to replace it because of where it is leaking from, told me that it wasn't fixable if it's leaking from that plug. It that not true? Because if it can be fixed, I'll pull that damn thing in a second to fix it. This oil-slicked under side sucks...and the offer to cruise up there sounds great! Any help would be awesome.
You know what, I did just recently replace both batteries, but I'll give Jody a call anyway, I have a few more questions for him either way.

The non-serviceable plug is indeed serviceable. International makes a kit for the T466 that uses the same HPOP. See this LINK

Thanks for the rep. Unnecessary but apreciated.

Thanks a lot for the information. I will go down to our local International dealer and see about that kit. I might just take you up on your offer also...if it still stands.
