My PC has been throwing throttle position codes while in ECO setting for a couple of months now. If I stay in City, it’s fine... but for day to day driving, I’ve gotten used to ECO +4, and from time to time, CEL comes on and truck goes into limp mode while driving. Anyone else run into this?

Im running the non BT version of the PC... haven’t done any other changes. I will say, I ran CITY almost exclusively for the first year and change with the PC... just started using ECO a short time before the first CEL

Do not use ECO mode. Apparently from what I’ve read it scales down the throttle sensitivity so much that apparently the voltage actually reads less than stock and throws a CEL. I’m not sure if I explained that correctly or not, but that’s the gist of what I’ve read on similar threads on this subject. I have a PC Bluetooth version. Never had an issue. Knock on wood. Either it’s on sport +4, or it’s off (when snow on the ground and I’m in 4WD).

I had to send mine back for reprogramming due to codes and acceleration on it own. Has been perfect since.

I bought the PC to launch like a rocket, not putt-putt like a golf cart.
That's what it's made for.

ECO mode a never knew there was such a thing with the P/C. Only knew it for better faster throttle response
