Your signature mentions an Edge chip, you may be over-boosting the engine and the truck is setting a code and de-fueling, which would set a soft code. Does the light stay on for a few minutes then go off? . Do you have a set of gauges?But really it could be a lot of things. A little more info about your truck and what it does when the light comes on could help.

Mine does the same thing.. It is not over boost, but i think the just the hpop can't keep up the demand.. Pretty normal with a tuner or chip.. But would suggest you get gauges to watch your EGT and Boost numbers especially when towing.. and a Trans temp gauge..

Just what every one said it's because of the tuner, normal. Most all will do this, besides costume tuning.
