Failsafe Mode w/Edge??
Okay, so now we've got a new problem that seems to warrant a new thread. Failsafe mode seems to pop up on a couple trucks after programming. Anyone experiencing this problem please let me know so I can get some more information and work on getting it fixed.
I will need:
HEX Code
Programmed Level
Any Custom Options used
Thanks.
Bill

Below is what I sent to Edge in an attempt to solve the issue you are talking about. I don't know if I will be of much help because I run other tunes now and only use the edge as a guage. Evertime I contacted edge they just told me to update. I finally just gave up. Maybe this info will help you or others.

2006 ford 5.4 F-150 3500 miles TEJF3EZ.HEX Lot # 090688 S/N 4101 Ver E3 20 21. I have been running the edge since "mile #1" haven't had any issues till lately. I usually run level 3. Lately (past week) I have had the truck go into failsafe mode (twice)and wrench light on the dash with a p0061 error code. Once it came on shortly after I started the engine and took off the other time I had driven for approx 15 minutes and it came on in traffic. Both times I stopped, turned off the truck, waited a few minutes and then restarted where it would run fine and I would drive home. Both times after I came home I would reprogram back to stock and run it for a few days without incident. Any ideas what might be happening. I updated from ver e3-20-20 to e3-20-21 maybe a month ago (approx 750 miles). Right now i am running stock and a little gun shy of running level 3 until I have more answers. Thanks for your time.

I did the update and am running firmware 22 and calibration 24. In stock mode everything is fine. As soon as I try and run level three I get an error code of P061 (within 10 miles or so) and the truck goes into failsafe mode. Each time I pull over and shut the truck off, wait a few minutes and then start it up and go.Like I said, stock the truck is fine so I really don't think it is a vehicle problem but more an edge problem.

Okay, so if I understand everything correctly it was only occurring in Level 3, right? It appears that you may not have run Level 1 or 2 long enough for the problem to manifest itself so I won't rule those levels out either.
In any event, thanks for the information. I have one other vehicle that is having this problem and if I remember correctly it was the same code, too. This certainly helps.
Take care.

I ran level 3 almost all the time. I did verify that it would go failsafe while running level 1 & 2 also so levels didn't matter in my case. Another thing I did that I forgot to mention was I changed my splash screen and right after that my problems started. Might be coincidence might not.

Bill,
I am having the same problem. I have an '05 supercrew. Live in Arizona at around 200' above sea level. Happened the other day and just today again.The DTC showed a P061 and a P2106. The hex code is RXCM3E8. I am running Level 3 with the following:
WOT Shift: 1-2 5300
2-3 5300
3-4 4600
Shift Firm: 6,6,4
Rev. 5300
Speed: 110
Gear Ratio: 3.55
WOT Fuel: 1.5
Tires: 35" Toyos, set at 2660 to match gps.
Also have an Airaid CAI w/ a TB spacer.
Updated two weeks ago to firmware 22 and calibration beta 28? can't remember exact calibration.
Thanks for the help in advance.
From a dead stop, I start to take off and wrench light comes on.

Hey Bill,
I had it happen to me running level 2. Mine only did it after i tried out the preloaded tunes on the Xcal3 i got. These tunes , well one of them made my truck put a code out and i flashed it back to stock after this happened.
When i was leaving from work i flashed it back to level 2 with my edge before driving home. I drove for about 2 -4 km and stopped at a light. When the light turned green i put my foot on the gas and wham. failsafe mode code 2106. I put it back to stock and drove home with no problems.
After a day or so i re-flashed it back to level 2 and i have had no problems with it since then? The truck is running real nice.
I have a 2004 F150 5.4 3v Strategy code RXAQ3B4 and the only customs im using is the tire size 2559mm and a 3" Air force one CAI.
Thanks Bill.

Bill,
A couple of weeks ago you sent me the test file to remediate the P061 and the P2106. Everything has worked great from A-Z since then. But today, coming back from town the engine light comes on and the DTC reads P175-system too rich(Bank 2). Any advice on this? Let me know when a good time to give you a call would be so that I may fill you in with all the details.
Thank you in advance.

I'm glad that the bulk of the problems have been resolved. Obviously, I am curious about the DTC and am sure it is something simple. You can give me a call anytime this week.
Thanks again. Take care.

Just got the P061 code after setting the tire size, gear size, and idle on level 2. I've run level 2 and level 3 with no problems for quite a while now. The code and the engine stall + CEL just started after I made the changes above. Put it back to stock and its fine.
Did this one get figured out?
Hex: 0KDG3C4
