How to change setting on Pedal Commander without tripping CEL

[Ramm5.7]

No issues with mine(knocks on wood). Adjust on the fly, at stop lights next to a lesson needs to be taught( either them or me..lol). I pretty much leave it in sport -2 now with the pulsar

If you have the bluetooth unit, try going into the bluetooth app and updating the unit. The first batch of bluetooth Pedal Commanders had a software glitch that would cause this to happen, but it is fixed in the update that I mentioned. I have been running the non bluetooth unit on my truck for about a year now, and have never thrown a code. I have changed settings multiple times while driving, and even let customers drive my truck and change settings while driving so that they can feel the difference this unit makes.

Maybe cuz mines a 2018 is why it’s so damned sensitive.

I've changed settings at least a dozen times via Bluetooth, usually while driving, & never thrown a code.

same for me.................

I’ve changed settings on mine while driving,with just the key on,and while idling in park. I’ve never had a CEL come on.
I installed my PC with 125 miles on it and currently it’s got 8420 on it. Never a problem with it.

ECO mode on the 4th negative or positive? I guess I’m just not understanding it but how can like, for example, City mode +4 not be the same as Sport mode -4? Am I not understanding the pluses and the minuses for each of the 4 modes?

How do you like yours on the Eco mode? I read somewhere that some users have reported that running the PC on that mode causes a low-voltage code or something. Ive never ran mine that low because of that possibility but if it ran the truck better, I’d consider it. I’m still playing with this thing, trying to find the sweet spot.

The only one I’ve seen is the one that says to service the electronic throttle control.

Same here. Never thrown a CEL and I have changed both modes and +/- settings every way possible. Really cool when you're at 1/2 throttle and you bump it from Eco to City or from City to Sport, you feel it jump instantly and accelerate! I'm a little nuts and I'm still in North Jersey so, I've settled on Sport +3. When I finally get to TN, I expect I'll relax some.

The other day I was showing off the power of the 6.4 in 4x4 hi. So I put it in sport + 4 and turned off the trac control. My 2500 smoked all 4 tires on dry pavement. Put her against the back of the seat. Damn what a feeling

Used to do that in my K5 Blazer with 36x15R15 tires! Had to do it in Low Range though.

Holy crap! That looks just like my truck! I used the wrong word. They didn't "smoke", they howled as they spun though. Only for 10 ft. or so. I had 4" suspension lift and 3" body lift. Had a Balanced and blueprinted 406 cu. in. Small block Chevy. Motor was built by Competition Performance in Union, NJ. I still have the motor on an engine stand in my garage. Been there 22 years. Just waiting to move again to TN where I will be buying 50 to 100 acres +/-. Gonna build something fun. I'll try to find a pic on my other hard drive. Are they **** Cepek's?

 

[RoadRamblerNJ]

Crap! I don't have digital pics, only photos and they are packed and in storage in VA. This was the mid/late 80's and I worked as a mechanic in a Sunoco station
Lift was all mine after closing at 5pm

All good man! Mine is an 85 - 4"susp 3"body 37x14.5 Toyo MTs on some old wheels haha. I have a 14FF and D44 in the garage that I was rebuilding until I bought my Ram, now I am broke and the K5 is getting neglected lol 350 in it is leaking from possibly rear main, haven't tracked it down yet. Lot to do on it lol

EDIT: I forgot to mention I was using the Pedal Commander

2016 Ram Bighorn. have had my PC on for a couple weeks, with no issues. Ive changed it at stop lights if want to troll a drof mud stain. Even changed it at highway speeds. just let off the gas, adjust it up or down and kept on going. Is this right or wrong? don't know, but I haven't gotten a CEL. maybe the guys at GE could chime in on this.

 

[Mike77]

I found that as long as my foot is off the gas I'm good to go. Haven't had any cel's that way

 

[Wahrsuul]

I ran through all 4 settings while holding the pedal steady on the highway - no codes
