Last friday my ps went out. I got a ps light and break light with no codes. I checked all fuses and took out ps ecu checked wires and connectors. I reset the car by disconnecting the neg. Bat. Cable twice. I couldnt figure out what the problem was and i almost baught a new ecu after 5 days of no ps. I also have had a ABS light on for a few weeks bc i broke a connector. So I figured maybe a new ABS sensor would help but just for the sensor it was over $100 more than buying the wheel bearing with the sensor and I just replaced both fronts less than 4 months ago so I just left it for now. I have the RR Racing tune I figured why not I'll take it out and see what happens. So I put my car back to stock. after I turn the car on I had no lights drove the car fine the whole day and decided to put the tune back in. I've been driving for the past 3 days and haven't had the power steering light come back on. I'm wondering if having the ABS light on for so long while also having the RR Racing tune in could have triggered it to throw the power steering light along with the brake light I also didn't have a speedometer, wouldn't tell me my miles per gallon, or the distance. It would only tell me the temperature and what year I was in also the RPMs worked just fine. I'm wondering if anybody else had any issues with the RR Racing tune? I like the RR Racing tune and I'm not trying to bash on it at all but it seemed that it was at least the contributing factor in why my power steering went out so randomly. really nothing was wrong with the power steering because after I reset to stock nothing was wrong and also after I put the tune back in still everything's fine.

I've got the RR Racing tune as well and it's never caused a PS light before. I have a persistent p0606 but I haven't been able to attempt a flashback to stock since my stock load is messed up, but I don't really believe it's the fault of the tune. Plus I don't really need TC/VSC, it's just annoying have a CEL. If everything is fine after reflashing then all is good right?

 

No issues with my tune either.. I freaking love it lol

 

I have also had the p0606 come up and go away from time to time. My question is COULD my ABS light being on WHILE the tune is in the car trigger the ps to fault like it did. Ive had the tune for just over a year and really haven't had any problems with it. But recently I've had the ABS light on for about 3 weeks and then all of a sudden out of nowhere the power steering and brake lights come on but absolutely nothing was wrong with the car (besides losing ps) because after I took the tune out and flash back to stock everything was back to normal. I did put the tune back in after a day so I will see if I leave my abs the way it is if those lights come back on. I did lose power steering when the lights triggered but when I took the tune out the system went back to normal.... I just don't get it. So to me i feel like MAYBE from something abnormal" the tune" bing in the car if the ABS and the tune somehow triggered my symptoms. I know the testing behind the RR Racing tune was extensive I don't think they would have been testing it with any engine light or ABS lights on so they wouldnt know if it has anything to do with my situation.

 

So if I read everything correctly, you're back using the tuned ECU now, yes? How long and has any of the power steering-related lights come back?

I had to replace one of my ABS sensors when I did my rear wheel bearing. I LOL'd a little when they told me how much it was! I had no choice though, my previous one was completely stuck and it had to be hacked out.

 

Yes the tune is back in the car now and it has been about 5 days. Cant just let it sit around without haveing it in the car lol. No lights or issues as of yet. I am leaving the ABS light on to see if anything happens.
