1714 on 04 Screw probs
I intalled the Hi-Perf and then the Tow-Perf modes. I have been getting engine lights. Running the DTC codes whether the engine light or wrench ("limp home") is on states P1000 "monitor checks not complete-more driving required" and P2106= "throttle actuator ctrl system-forced limited power".
The tuning worked for about 2 weeks and then the changes occur. I returned the truck to "stock" and the same thing happened!
I have been pulling posts in 4L, but the problem occured before that.
I tow a utility trailer GVWR 7000lbs, never maxed in weight.
Only mods is AeroTurbine SIDO exhaust and kickin' stereo.
Taking truck to dealer in AM for tx.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi Keener,
No, I can't tell you why, as we have not had any such problems but before you take it in to the dealer, you need to do as your 1714's instruction manual says when you have a problem - which is to call the manufacturer directly at the phone number provided in your Micro Tuner's manual. And do that BEFORE you take it in to the dealer, as the manufacturer may need to have you do a procedure before going in to the dealer.
So please - call Superchips directly at the phone number in your instruction manual, & good luck!

Follow up from dealer:
The lights were coming on after returning it to stock. Just as the DTC reader stated, it was the throttle actuator.
The dealer reprogrammed the computer and adjusted the throttle cable. Problem fixed, under warranty, and works fine now.
I'm running the stock program for a couple days before I tune it.
Will keep everyone posted.

Hi Keener,
OK, so it continued to throw the code after returning to stock.
Looks like you just had a simple component failure & it's replacement was the fix - inconvenient, but pretty simple overall.
Glad to hear that took care of it, & after you've driven it for a few days & don't have the problem come back, you can get back to enjoying your Micro Tuner.
God luck & have fun,
