Reoccuring CEL - Catless DPs and JB4

I have a reoccuring CEL for catless DP's. As I understand JB4 no longer auto clears that code...does anyone know if there's a way to bypass this?

Yup, you have to purchase a flash tune.
Only way to get rid of the CEL
JB4 was the way but just like how they got in trouble and had to stop making their CAN bypass tool, its only fair to assume they got into issues again.
Flashing is the only way.

Not true...if you can find an older firmware for your JB4 that still has autoclear, you can flash that. Albeit I have a tune, I've got an older firmware on my JB4 tablet just because I wanted to retain autoclear for other reasons. Search N54Tech or maybe someone will PM you that has an older firmware that you can flash.

From my knowledge there are no older firmware files on the n54tech website.
So unless you can get it from someone, I don't know if that can happen.
All new JB4's are not gonna work for that feature.

I haven't searched since I have older S63 firmwares on my SD card, but my last sentence still stands...someone has them and it's easily flashed once acquired.
