Hello guys, I do work for Ford Racing and I am looking for some info. For the guys who are getting a CEL what are the driving conditions when you see it? Are you idling a lot, down shifting a lot or steady cruise?
We are trying to duplicate the issue and need to know what driving conditions to look at.
Thanks, Ray

Glad you stepped in here. No issues with my Track Key but glad to see Ford Racing actively addressing issues.
Thanks for the product and a special thanks for adding in the ProCal power and torque to the Track Key tune. Worth the wait for me...
Hopefully those with a concern respond.

Glad to see Ray and Ford Racing here.
Due to the lack of responses I am keeping my Monday appointment to have my Trackey installed.
If I have any questions or problems I will post details here immediately.
Thanks for following Ray.

I have been getting a couple codes with my track key. My car is stock with K&N filter anf GT500 mufflers. The codes I've gotten once each is P0315 and P219B. The two codes I get every 3 days are P0420 and P0430. Recently I've been doing a lot less idling and it's been 4 days since it came on.

Dealer says the cats are bad but they are on back-order. They also said mine isn't the only one with this issue.

Looks like I'm the newest member of the CEL club...
Track Cal with P0420 & P0430.
Was idling the car for a bit earlier in the day, but the CEL came on during sustained highway cruising. I doubt it's related but the codes appeared the same day I installed GT500 mufflers.
It took about 800 miles of daily driving (mixed highway/city/idle) for the codes to appear since the Track Cal was installed.

On top of that, yours came on while not even idling and MyStang, with the key, came on while not even using the key (although after he had used it before).
Gotta have a solution soon. The excuse of normal and just reset the codes doesn't fly with me. I also am concerned about the amount of "testing" they did with this tune.
Btw mfc, are you still getting A/C issues? It seems Ray only popped into this thread, but there were about 3 of them going on. So I wanted to bring that issue here too and centralize things.

I'd sure like for Ray to chime back in. This is now the first track "cal" I've heard of with codes. Prior it seemed limited to the keys for some reason.

The A/C issue is still there, only on normal A/C. Doesn't seem to happen on max A/C. It's pretty inconsistent, but it mostly happens immediately after decelerating to a stop in gear. I don't think the lopey idle is culprit, it will happen even if lopey idle is disabled. It almost feels like the AC compressor shuts off during decel, and then kicks back on during idle.

Cel's
P219B P0420 P0430. They came on while I was cruising. Just normal back road light load around 40mph. I've also noticed a slight "flatness" or dead spot when applying light throttle to say to maintain 40-45mph around 1400rpm. These aren't complaints but characteristics, nature of the beast I guess. I can complain about when I called Ford Racing Tech line the guy that answers told me they had not had any trouble codes and that he put me on hold to "ask an engineer" and he supposedly also said no one has had any CEL's with the key. I'm sure they're probably working on a patch. Time will tell.

There was one guy on svt that had the track cal and got the codes. Yeah I had been driving on the highway for about 30 minutes when the CEL appeared. The A/C issue is still there, only on normal A/C. Doesn't seem to happen on max A/C. It's pretty inconsistent, but it mostly happens immediately after decelerating to a stop in gear. I don't think the lopey idle is culprit, it will happen even if lopey idle is disabled. It almost feels like the AC compressor shuts off during decel, and then kicks back on during idle.
Also I agree that I don't think lopey idle is causing the ac issue directly. However the tune changes all kinds of parameters. And it's very likely that the compressor switch is set to turn off on decel (in error?). I mentioned before that I did a sw update to the tune software I used on the RSX (kpro from hondata). And after I uploaded the same tune I'd been using via the new sw, the ac blew hot. So it could happen.

Just returned from having my Trackey installed.
Simply awesome.
I did not notice any problems with the A/C.
Throttle response is much improved making perfect rev matched heel toe downshifts a breeze.
The surge I used to feel under acceleration at about 3500 RPM is gone and I definitely feel the added HP and Torque.
Deceleration pops through the GT500 mufflers sound great yet not obnoxious.
I let my service adviser drive it. The expletives and smile on his face were priceless.
