CEL & Flashing "Cruise" Light???
 

Ok, so I expected the CEL after installing the HKS dp and Carbon-TI, but not the flashing CRUISE light? Any ideas? It just flashes off and on about every second. It must be an indicator or something, but I have no clue. Tim are you able to reset these? Wasnt sure if I remembered you had something that could.

Thanks.

dave,

mach5 had the same thing happen to his car.

did you overboost? your e-01 should have a memory recall for boost.

Does it come back right away after you turn the car off or takes a while? I can reset and pull the CELs were the light stays on, but the flashing ones tend to go away (and come back) on their own.
I had one shortly after my EGT probe went in, but it went away. In my case I think the connection to my O2 in the manifold was loose.
In your case you are probably getting a Cat efficiency code, similiar to what I used to get on my wagon. I would suggest looking into one of the fixes for that.

I had some spikes to 16.8, but got that fixed now it seems. Would that cause one or both of the lights?

Hmm, only noticed on the way home. Will check it out when I drive a bit tonite. Just wierd that the CRUISE light would be flashing. I understand the CEL tho.

I remember reading about the flashing cruise light a while back.

Many thanks!

So it sounds like the cruise is just disabled if the check engine light is on, that makes sense I guess. No sense cruising along if the engine is in trouble. Gonna check the fuel cap just in case, although Im sure its the new exhaust. I did just fill up this morning tho...

Yep, I over boosted. Drive the car around for a little while and it goes out.

Hah. ok will do. Figured since I spiked so high it wasnt too happy. Had to turn the profec way down. Dont really understand why, but must have something to do with the free flowing exhaust or something. Gotta retune one of these days. Appreciate the info Dan.

You are spooling faster because of your new exhaust.

Do you think the EBC is worth the $$$ on the STi?

Ah ok, maybe I need to adjust the gain then. Its at 10 now, its definitely spooling a lot faster. Damn.

Well for me maybe it wasnt worth the money, but I think its worth it if you know more about it. I just dont really understand all of it yet. I think its worthwhile for all the features, but one thing I got it for was the data logging and I cant for the life of me figure that out. Nothing in the manual that I can see either. :( It has a 32mb memory card and everything. No menu option says log or save or anything. Oh well.

I think if I had it to do over I would wait on Vishnu and just go with their Stage 1 and XEDE or whatever. For me a package all put together would have been best, but Im impatient so here I am. :)
