I know in our state Ohio they would not have been able to sell you that vehicle since there is an emissions concern. This applies to a DEALERs. That might even fall under the emissions 50k waranty. Have you taken the chip out yet to see if the light goes off?

 

You should be able to remove the chip with no problems (other than you will lose the power that's been provided by the chip). You should then be able to take it to Autozone and have them scan and clear the SES code. (It woudl be good to know what the code was in the event that you might have an actual problem that the dealer is ignoring because of your chip)

Hi - no I haven't removed the chip yet, don't know how. I'm clueless I guess /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

I think I will figure out how to have the chip removed...like I said, I really don't see the benefit, my sister's truck w/o the chip feels great if not more powerful than mine and we both get cruddy mileage, so I think I'd rather be rid of it and have that light off! Maybe I have a faulty chip? What is Autozone? Do you mean take the chip there to have it cleared? Thanks so much!

Autozone is a parts store for cars. They offer a free service of reading/clearing the codes (that cause the check engine light). If you have an OBDII tool you could do it yourself.

Why not just disconnet BOTH batteries for about 30 min. then reconnect the batteries. As long as you don't "drive it like you stold it", the light probably will not come on. What is turning the light on is normally an over boost on the turbo or a high oil pressure on the injector pump. Both of which the chip raises over factory.

 

MOM2Gs,
Go to our web site at www.westerndiesel.com and pull down the instructions section under Ford and print the directions for chip installation and do the removal and see it it helps.
