DP and engine light question

Hello members;

I installed my 2.5" UR catless DP recently (a week ago), my question is;
isn't I'm supposed to get the SES(engine light) lights on the cluster because I'm running catless? I'm not getting any error or anything shows on the dash/cluster ... is this normal?


Thanks in advance.

If you're running a tune with built in o2 sims then you won't get a light.

Yes Actually. I was having the same thing as you. I installed AA catless DPs and drove it a lot with no SES light. If you scan for codes, I bet you'll find the two codes. But for the SES light to appear you got to have long drives.

After I installed my Dps I spend a week only driving in the city and got no light. The first time I went for a 20 miles drive on the highway I got the light.
It has to do with how the systems on the car run emission test or something of that sort...

So for your case, I'm going to take a wild guess here but I think you live in Lebanon, correct? Being from there, I know it's a small place Take it to some highway and drive for a while and let us know.

lol dude, I'm just worried that there isn't anything wrong, because normally it lights up after you take the DP off....
