CEL after BMS intake install
Did everything smoothly. I got a CEL a little after the install. What could be the problem? I didn't disconnect the battery during the installation. How do I reset this?

Did you check to see what the code was ? You're the first to report such an issue. Did you connect everything correctly ?

If it was unlocked I don't think that should be an issue. If the ignition was left "on" then that might be a reason for the CEL.

The only hard part about this installation was pushing that vacuum hose into the BMS intake. it took a bit of force but this should not be the problem as everything should be where they are. |

To be honest, i bought this mainly for sound. I am sure everything is connected the right way. The MAF only connects one way. |

Is the CEL still on? I don't want to run into that problem either, given the fact there's no return.
I used to run injen CAI with stage 1 and it sounded nice but mpg dropped tho. I did run into CEL a couple becuz of a leak I believe becuz the vacuum plug is not secured and it cannot be secured. Engine is hotter than normal. But more boost tho so I returned it mainly the vacuum hose can't be secured. |

I'm really curious as to what the cause of the CEL is, and whether or not others will start having the same issues. I was about to pull the trigger on this, but I'm going to wait to see how this plays out. I would hope BMS tested this on a fully stock vehicle for any issues, as not everyone wants to run a JB4 just to clear codes.

I think there is a way to see codes through the gauge cluster somehow if I'm not mistaken. Something about a hidden menu.

Went to a local shop and they told me it just needs to be cleared ( they didn't give me the codes) They tried to charge me $40 to clear it. Im going to have a friend do it for me for free in a couple days. ill keep it posted.
