First check engine light.

[Loudram]

My truck threw its first check engine light. Thankfully I was only a few minutes from home. It was for throttle position voltage, no doubt from my throttle controller so it was put into limp mode. I checked the connections and they were fine so I cleared the code. I left it in because this was my only code so far and it makes the truck fun to drive. I'm leaving the cheaper of my two code readers in the truck in case this happens again.

I have the same throttle controller. How long has yours been on the truck? I worry about this happening to me. I do a lot of driving.

This is why I'll only use a pedal commander. Get what you pay for with knockoffs. Ran it for 3 years on the Ram without issues, same on the Charger now.

I got mine at the very beginning of December.

PC is nicer and throttle controllers do make the truck more fun but for me it's not $300 worth of fun. For that kind of money I'd get a tune. If it happens again in the next couple of weeks I'll pull it out, if not I'll leave it in. At $45 they are almost disposable, almost.

Just get a real tuner and custom tune

Mines been on since August and no issues so far. Fingers crossed.

If you look through past threads you'll find all the throttle controllers including PC have caused CEL's. Not saying everyone will but every brand has.

A high percentage of that is user error like changing settings while moving or with foot on the gas.

Second not to change while moving. I did this twice when I first had my PC, threw in limp mode and had the voltage code. Pulled over, read and cleared the code with the Trinty2 and never did it again. Never had an issue again as well. Going on 4 years now.

I must be super lucky because I've changed my PC settings while I'm giving it throttle and I've never had it throw a code. Don't know if its because my truck is a 2013 and maybe not as sensitive...
