Help Jb4 codes

- just installed my jb4 for the first time the other day . Decided to use read codes option last night and saw these , New to jb4 so not sure if this is anything concerning , I haven't cleared codes yet but just wanted to get a general knowledge of what I'm looking at. I'm running a catless downpipe and a resonator delete paired with the jb4 on map3 93oct.

I've gotten those codes before (except the lambda probe codes). In my case, it was because the OBD port connection wasn't seated properly (even though it looks and feels like it is). I had to unplug and plug it in a few times and then cleared it and they didn't pop back up.

The first two CD codes are common. Nothing you do will get rid of it. It has something to do with the wheel speed sensors or something. Doesn't affect the car at all.

Hi vipin , I cleared codes and most of them went away . I got hit with a drive train malfunction yesterday and it was due to code 11A605 . I saw on n54tech page that you as well was hit with this code during WOT and low gas in the tank? After doing some reading I went out filled up my tank about 70% full , cleared codes and it hadn't appeared again. I was doing WOT, hard pulls to see if code would reappear, but I think we're good

Oh yes. That happened to me a long long time ago when I was running real low on fuel and my ethanol mix was off. Are you running some E85 as well? If so, how much?

No e85 mix just 93 pump gas . I was low on fuel ( around 90 miles left in tank ) . Have yet to try A E mixture . Once I know car is performing healthy , I'll be throwing some juice in it ! Ando @Bms is currently looking over my logs and hopefully we can get a custom map ready soon!

Hmmm. I'm pretty sure my code came about because of my high E85 and low fuel. I've never had an issue with a lower e85 content (I think when the error happened, I was at E30 or slightly higher).

I was told to get the ewg connector, going to purchase that and see how everything turns out

Oh yours doesn't have the ewg connector? Yes that does help a bit. If you have access to E85, it helps even more!

I was in the same boat as you. Used kit. Bought the EWG connector. Helped me improve my map 6 a bit more. E85 helps a lot. I fill up around 3.7 gallons E85 and then 93 for a full tank. That brings it to around E27-30. Helps timing a lot. My car throws up a drivetrain error code if I overfill E85.

In your case, I suggest installing the wire and then getting a log in map 2 first. Evaluate timing. If no drops, get a log in map 3. And then add E85.

You're welcome. Logs are very important. After you install the EWG, get logs using pump 93. Don't fill up E85. After evaluating those and seeing how your car responds, you can move forward. Once you get some logs, post it in the n54tech website and let's see how they look
