Error code clarification

aaron_ · 09-22-2016, 06:22 AM

Been readin up on an error code that won't go away. It clears but always returns. It's 28A0 throttle angle sensor blah blah blah. Few posts have said its a tuner code. Others haven't. I have the ppk from joe@topgearsolutions. Problem started after (i think).

Only other codes I get are 2C56 and 2C58 if I go WOT in 4th and go over 5000rpm ish (on a closed race track of course)

Any info? I have the Carly app, will that allow me to pull the detailed error code info the jb4 provides? Or anyone kno how to do it through inpa? I tried with Vtl's help and failed!

Car drives perfectly until wot in 4th >5k rpm. Doesn't really matter in day to day driving but knowing something wrong is bugging me and I don't know how to go about fixing such an intermittent problem. Almost want to just remove ppk and see if it fixes it!

Side note - Carly app is awesome

Log boost and boost mean with MHD and see if there is a dodgy discrepancy between the two.

I'll see if Carly can do that. I don't have mhd. I have a n55
