Check engine light after install STEEDA CAI and tune


Recommended Posts

 

I installed STEEDA CAI and tune on my 2012 Fusion SEL V6 3.0L FWD several months ago. The second time I started the car after loading the tune, the CEL went on. The DTC I got with the SCT X3 3000 tuner is P06B8. I tried returning to stock and reloading the tune, and also contacted SCT to try a recovery file. The code did not go away, and Gus told me that the code other people got after load the tune are different. I used the tuner to clear the code and it did not come back. Gus said it would not hurt the car as long as the code did not come back.

 

 

 

I took the car to the dealer for service about a month ago, and the strategy was updated. I waited about 20 days before SCT updated their software to support my car's new strategy. I reinstalled the CAI and 91OCT no insert tune yesterday, and today the CEL went on again. I checked, and the code is the same as before.

 

 

 

SCT mentioned that it may be a template problem. My question is whether it hurts the car. I noticed that the shifting was not so smooth.

also a good case made for doing mods one at a time. I'll be following this. I was thinking of a TUNE for my 2017 Fusion, but I can't pass inspection with a CEL on.

one that's supposed to go away on it's own after few drive cycles? Problem with that is something that goes away on it's own could (possibly) recur ON IT'S own.
