Whipple issue.
So the first one.
I am getting a P069E code. "Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination " My guess here. I have cut outs on my car... the cut out on the driver side melted some of the wires under the car. Did not melt through any wires.. just the housing. (black accordion housing. stuff) I made a heat shield for the wires and I also heat wrapped the wires. Haven't made it back under the car to see the wires yet... Second, Not whipple related. I put Dot 4-5 fluid in my car last week. Today on lap 5 at the track day, my dash all lite up. ABS, TC, SC, ect. The instructor in the car with me said it was because of the Dot 5 fluid... Anyone else run Dot 5 at the track?

I also have a friend running Dot 5 in his car for several months with no issues.

Yep, Dot 5 is very specific. You may have just screwed the pooch on that one.

DOT 5 is a silicone-based brake fluid and you must get it out ASAP before it destroys all your rubber seals.

Dot 5 is silicone based and not compatible with our abs system. |

Shouldn't be an issue with 5.1, did the lights go away once your system cooled down?

Did not.. I tried to use my scan tool and reset the code and lights.. nothing... I had to do a battery pull for it to reset

Says right on the container that 5.1 is mixable with 3 or 4.
Didn't see this until I started re reading the bottle. I had to pull the battery to reset the dash lights.
