Service Electronic Throttle Control (Lightning Bolt)?

[Julian_H]

Hey guys!

Truck: 2017 RAM 2500 6.7L, weight lost by the former Doctor.

issue: service electronic throttle control (or the lighting bolt symbol - stays on)

Started: I installed the Banks MONSTER ram air intake system with the grid heater deleted and did the throttle valve delete yesterday.

The truck started up fine and seemed to run fine with more power.

So the upgrades worked, but, I now have the lightning bolt staying on saying “service electronic throttle control”.

With the throttle valve deleted, I’ve unplugged the throttle valve sensor.

Could that be the issue?

Maybe the tuner needs updating to hide the code I’m seeing on my dash?

I’ve double-checked all connections, seem good.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
J

Disconnecting the throttle valve with the former Doctor’s tune should not cause the lightning bolt.

I recommend performing a full system scan of all modules.

If you post the trouble codes, we can help you narrow down the cause.
