FAILSAFE MODE message? - 3/10/2007 3:34:27 PM    Zellanor Posts: 297 Joined: 7/25/2006 Status: offline As you all have read, I installed Dynatech LT's with O/R  xpipe. well I went to start her up and I got "FAIL SAFE MODE" message. I did a check with the XCAL2 and nothing came up. Also, when slowly accelerating thru 1st and 2nd she tends to hesiate, when you hit 3rd it's gone. Does this sound fimilar to any of you? if so, how can I fix it? thanks alot _____________________________ 2005 Legendlime 5 Speed -20% Tint -JLT II CAI -XCAL2 w/ Brenspeed 93 Tune -BBK UDP's -Dynatech L/T's with o/r X-pipe -Flowmaster "AMERICAN" Thunder -18" Arelli Mezlans -BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW 255 Post #: 1
