OK, P2106 Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System - Forced Limited Power.

You need to call Edge Tech Support and let them know about this. There may be a firmware update. But, they should be able to help you, with this information.

One other thing you could try is to put the intake system back to stock. A CAI on an 04 is inviting trouble on a canned tune. Until you can convert your unit to a Gryphon with custom tunes, that may be all you need to do.

Any help guys. I just left work and about 10 miles into my drive my service light went on and my edge read p061 and p2106. I know p2106 is just a warning that the vehicle is going into a power save mode, but im concerned about the P061. Ive been running the edge lvl 3 for about 2 years now and had no trouble. only issue i have had is p0116 when i attempted to add a CAI, which i reinstalled the original intake after. Ive tried cleaning the MAF to no avail. my next try was gonna be replacing the MAF sensor. i rotated the tired on saturday and have heard a squealing on braking, figured the brakes just got dirty. changed my oil on monday (actually had a shop do it) but thought nothing of the squeling since the truck was driving fine.

I put octane boost and fuel system cleaner in last night. im wondering if that is just making the engine run hot and once the boost is out of the system it will run fine. any help would be great, but for now im gonna just run the truck in stock on my edge.

BTW, the truck is an 06 Scab FX4 with a 5.4, a magnaflow exhaust and an edge. Thanks

Call Edge Tech Support if the problem is only showing up when you're running one of Edge's canned tunes. I've never had any problems at all, so I don't have any brilliant ideas.

Are you SURE the trouble code was P061? I can't find that anywhere. The only "P" codes I find have 4 digits, not three.

I will need:
HEX Code
Programmed Level
Any Custom Options used

Thanks. ;)

Bill
