Default Check Engine light after VAP TUNE

As title States got a check engine light after tuning the engine . Chris said it could be a miscommunication error but for some reason my ob2 is only giving $7e8 and $7e9. Which I think is the vehicle identification. Anyone had a similar experience and what did you do

I had/have the same thing. Turn your car engine on and off 5 times. See if it goes away.

Those codes are pointers to sub-menus.Depending on your code reader, you might have to click on that code to generate the triggered P0xxx code. If not, you need a more advanced reader with a more complete library to see what is going on.

Thanks guys....so I cleared the code to see if it would come back and it didn't so I think the tune just triggered it. I swapped maps from the vap to tune the svr and after flashing same thing check engine light. This time I didn't clear it. I am going to get my buddies better scanner like unhinged recommended and see if I can get the actual code

Once in a while, the cars will throw the odd code as a result of the programming process but they should clear up right away.

I think Chris is communicating with you regarding your car, sounds like he got it sorted?

yup he gave me a few suggestions luckily I found my old scan tool and that did the trick so all good on my end. Going to send Chris an email this morning to let him know as well. Thanks again for the awesome service
