    You will either need to live with the SES light for the cat, or you will need to stop the cat diagnostic test. Otherwise, the car will run rich while cruising.

    HPT doesn't have the ability to remove the test unless they added it since they updated to 2.23.

    I actually have the newest version, which is 2.24, but honestly have not looked at the program since downloading his stock tune so I could license his VIN.

    But, I was going by this:

    Found in the top sticky on this section. It looks like I can have the sensor functioning, but simply turn off the SES light and it would do the CAT test once, fail, then ignore. Is that not right? or am I still fuzzy on that whole 9 page thread?

    Yes. That will definitely be done. Don't have my truck's fan temps on this computer at work, but I will set them at the same temps as it is, which has worked well. Thanks.

    I have never checked to be sure that actually works. I don't think it does, but it would be worth a try.

    doesnt work.

    You will need to hijack a tinytuner file into HPT, which isnt hard to do when you are stock assuming you can find a tinytuner file with the same OSID as you had unlocked. I could help map a file that is not supported if you are really hell bent on making it work in tinytuner.

    Where would I "hijack" a TinyTuner file at?
