DTC ENGINE CODES
I finally threw a couple of codes after over 18 months with a Maggie, American Racing Headers, long tubes with hiflow cats, through a NoWeeds diverter through stock mufflers.
I had Ted Jannetty send me a SCT Tuner with his custom tune for my setup and it was perfect. It ran sweet and no problems, Until I started running with the NoWeeds open pretty much so it was too loud, and probably running less back pressure, causing it to maybe run a bit lean. The car has always backfired while coasting off the throttle some, but it became more often and louder with the NoWeeds near half open. The codes I got were P013E and P014A I searched this forum but could not find much about them. I finally googled and found a simple website that I think we all could use to fine these baffling codes. Go to: www.dtcsearch.com Type in the code and it shows what it is. Really neat and simple. P013E is O2 sensor delayed response-rich to lean Bank 1 Sensor 2 P014A is same thing but Bank 2 Sensor 2 So the last few days of driving with it "A Bit To Loud" finally threw a code. I cleared the codes with the SCT Tuner and now will quiet my act down a bit and see if things will go back to normal. The main thing here is the website above that makes decoding the codes a snap. I thought I would find my solution in this forum, but I didn't. I hope this helps others trying to see what their "dtc codes mean". |

The Engine is NOT running Lean or Rich the Rear O2s are sending false readings due to the open exhaust. Close the Noweeds and you will never get a code. These codes can also be disabled in a tune request. Ted.

Jannetty Racing : Proving Great Service: Once Again!
Thanks for the quick explaination Ted.
I thought there was not a serious problem as there was no noticeable power or performance changes. I drive 100 miles to and from work and usually only run the NoWeeds about 15% open. That means 15% thru Headers and 85% thru the stock mufflers. This is a pleasing sound level and keeps me happy. When the wife is in the car I run 100% thru to mufflers and it sounds almost stock quiet. I've gotten a little bit roudy and opened up to about 50:50. That setting is attention getting even at idle. Get on it and it sounds like a demon screaming to be released, and definetly puts the fear of God into most challengers. I,ve driven maybe a 120 miles at 50:50 setting and then got the codes. Glad to have you confirm there are no problems. Just one other question, if you don't mind. Since I received your tune it seems I no longer have "Traction Control". No problems as I am a sane and mature driver, but has it been turned "Off"? If so can I use the SCT Tuner to turn it back on? It may be that I now have so much power (about 625HP) that the Traction Control can't contain it. What do you think? Thanks again for your service. Last edited by thenaz; 05-26-2011 at 10:48 AM.

SCT TUNER UPDATES SUCK
Thanks Ted for the prompt response.
I hadn't used the SCT tuner for about 8 months so imagine my surprise when, after restoring my Camaros original tune, that I had to update the SCT to a newer "firmware". After 3 & 1/2 hours on Memorial Day evening I gave up. It lost all data. Everything was gone. Very irritating. On Tuesday, 5-31-11, SCT Tech Support was on my phone at 9:00am Florida time and Brian (bless his heart), took care of the problems. He had to reformat the device and then reload custom tune I got from Ted. Took about an hour and I had the tune back in my Camaro. SCT needs to besure to explain and fix problems with upgraded programs before they send out the updates to the consumer. I found out there were several with similar updating problems all over this country. |
