CEL with Visconti tune - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

tjdiz92 · 09-12-2012, 01:53 PM

Driving My car today and out of nowhere the CEL light and traction control light came on. One big problem with getting it fixed is that I was one of the first people with the tune as I was testing out the mileage for John. Therefore I don't have a cable and am no stuck with a car that threw its code and that I can't bring to the dealer. Now I'm not blaming John. The tune was and is great but what the hell do I do now. I can't flash it back to stock and if it's as big of a problem as everyone else who had this problem am I even going to have coverage on this. Really need John to pm on here. I called him but I understand how busy he is and how hard he is to reach. So if anyone else has this problem with the flash and found a solution please let me know as well as of John could you please get in touch with me.

I thought the Visconti tune was supposed to effectively act as a band-aid to the idle issue by raising idle speed by a couple of hundred RPMs. Guess not?

gmookher · 09-12-2012, 01:58 PM

what codes?

tjdiz92 · 09-12-2012, 02:06 PM

Going to check the codes soon. Got in touch with John though and I should be able to borrow a cable from a shop around me. The car really doesn't feel any different though and no specific action caused it. Just freaking out because I can't be without a car for that long

They'll give you a loaner. I got a Yaris. Whooooo!

ducks · 09-12-2012, 02:13 PM

just curious - how many miles have you driven in total?

tjdiz92 · 09-12-2012, 02:21 PM

I'm under 21 I can't drive a loaner! An 2700 today

tjdiz92 · 09-12-2012, 03:12 PM

Just found the code I threw. P1449. Quick google search said its a evaporative check solenoid engine malfunction

gmookher · 09-12-2012, 03:16 PM

clear it
let it cool
restart and see if it returns

tjdiz92 · 09-12-2012, 03:28 PM

Cleared it and nothin came back up. Gotta drive it some miles though to see

tjdiz92 · 09-12-2012, 03:38 PM

Drove it a bit and have awful bog/throttle response. Still no CEL light coming back on but definantly can't continue driving like this.

If you cleared the code by disconnecting the battery then the throttle response will be like that for a while until it "re-learns" the throttle mapping. P1449 - maybe the gas station attendant didn't screw on your gas cap all the way?

tjdiz92 · 09-12-2012, 03:54 PM

No didn't disconnect the battery. And that would explain a check engine light but not the traction control light. Gotta put some miles in order to get the CEL back because i can't drive the car like this. Had to ride the clutch at like 3k rpms before just to get up a little hill at a lifht
