As long as nothing is wrong you won't get a CEL. These cars simply have a few problem areas and warnings that are easily triggered when something isn't right. I'd rather see the warning and fix the problem causing it than just set the safeties so wide you never catch a real problem. But its a balancing act for tuners for sure. The easiest thing to do would be to just disable the CEL all together...

Sweet. Wish I'd known that a few years ago when I was looking at 'em.

Proper tuning of the ECU will not trigger codes. Piggybacks are designed to trick the ECU and this will cause the car to have random issues. I have never had codes or limp issues with my ESS software in my previous cars or this car. people need to stop going the quick cheap route and have a qualified tuner install proper flash software for their cars. People who run piggybacks should not complain about these issues. If you did your homework before you bought it you would know that there is a good chance you will have these random problems.
