What was the CEL for? I'm sure you got the code pulled, right?

You can always turn the CEL off, but most people don't do this since it can actually tell you some useful information.

I would suggest pulling that code to see what is up. Just turning the light off with the utec does not fix what is actually throwing the code.

You can go to Autozone and use a obd2 scanner for free.

You did upload the current parameters for the 5.0 firmware right?

maybe your old parameters had the CEL turned off which was masking a problem youve been having this entire time.

lets hope this issue gets fixed in the new version of sofware that is hopefully coming out soon, is this issue related only to version 6b my buddy has a previous version and does not have this issue?
