Pedal Monster causing limp mode *** Banks is replacing the unit!!***

[willhonkforparts]

Anybody else install a Pedal Monster and almost immediately get a check engine light, stability control error message and limp mode? What was the fix?

Edit: I called Banks tech support and after a brief explanation of what was happening, they're sending a new unit. Thanks Banks Power!

I bought and installed a Banks Pedal Monster on my 21 JTR Ecodiesel and was instantly impressed at the difference it made in driving feel. The stock pedal programming just, well, SUCKS. The Pedal Monster absolutely wakes this truck up and makes it actually feel like there might be the claimed 442 lb/ft of torque. BUUUUUUUT I get a CEL, Service stability control system error, and limp mode within a few miles of install. I have to remove th unit and clear the code before it will drive normally again. I called Banks but they're not open yet this morning. Wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and what was the fix?

My Pedal Monster is working great two weeks in, so I can't help except to say it's definitely not normal. I'm sure Banks will clear it up for ya...

Contact Banks and see what they have t say. Maybe there is a ECU update on late model EcoD's that is causing issues.

Well, that was easy. Two minute conversation with tech support and they're sending me a new Pedal Monster. That is how you create brand loyalty. I will be a customer for life.

The latest throttle body controls models have been altered by Jeep and do not work well with manipulated values, not sure if the diesels fall in that camp

I have a derringer, pedalmonster, idash, stinger height 10 (w/ PAC) and Tazer.

All are working properly with no issues last 8k miles. I do get an error occasionally on the idash on startup. It clears shortly after.
