Hey guys, so I was on here yesterday after installing my Turbo Tuner and I was asking how I should drive the car to let the ecu adapt. At first, I drove 30 miles or so not pushing it at all as I was told by a friend. After receiving some tips on here, I was told to push the car because it would let the ecu adapt quicker..so I did. I've driven 200 miles now on the Turbo Tuner and this has happened to me 3 times. This being, while driving on the freeway at 60-70 mph I push the gas up to 100-110 and I start getting lights...now I don't know if this is normal or not so that is why I am asking. I threw a brake light, an ABS, light and an Exclamation point...all three times Any ideas?? Thanks a lot

I don't see how the SSTT can cause the those lights to appear. You can however, remove the SSTT and drive it again up to those speeds and see if it appears again or not.

Was it slippery conditions?

It rained yesterday but for the most part the road wasn't wet...The thing is I have 11,XXX miles on my car and trust me I have pushed my car before and I have never experienced this before...

With the SSTT installed, drive your vehicle tonight to reproduce the brake warning lights. If it comes on then remove the SSTT and drive it again and see if the lights reappear.

There's just no relation that the SSTT is causing the warning lights that you are getting unless the power increase is causing some tire slippage that you can't detect but the vehicle can.

Listen to jon for he is very wise

The Turbo Tuner won't cause the lights your seeing but the extra power and torque you are seeing could cause wheel spin which would get those lights on. Turn off your traction control and try again

Please be very careful out there as its pouring rain around here !

I had similar symptoms with my car ( I don't have any mods) . It turned out to be a defective sensor located in the rear left wheel!!!

def. doesnt sound SSTT related but the best option is what Jeff has explained to be certain.

SO what was the resolution of this issue?

As for the performance. Get car to temp and floor it. I ran through the gears, each nearly to redline. I did this for about 30 miles. Seems to be working fine.
