The error code that is stored is from a low fuel pressure signal which is how the JBD works.

For a very few this does not seem to happen. I can go for several months before it triggers limp mode, but without fail it eventually will.
Keep it at the default 60% for normal use and only raise it for track days, etc, if you want fewer headaches.
