I recently bought a second hand sct tuner for my car and whenever I put the preloaded 93 octane tune on it, it throws the wrench light and puts my car into limp mode. when I check the codes it says its a p060c and a p2106. I have no idea where to start on trying to fix the issue because when I revert the car back to stock all of the codes go away and the car drives great.
Is the SCT tuner married to your car? You could have a corrupted preloaded tune. I suggest you contact Brenspeed and request an email tune for your car. Just provide them with details of your mods and they'll send you a new tuning file that you can upload to your tuner.
Well...I'm sure you know tuners are "married" to a vehicle (VIN locked), upon initial connection. In you case, with these codes, it seems like the tuner's not mated to your car: - P060c: Internal Control Module Main Processor Performance - means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a main processor performance error. - P2106: Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited Power (AKA = limp mode) You need to pay to unlock the tuner & then marry it to your vehicle.

Huh? SCT tuner will not flash a car if it is not married to it. It will display a message along the lines of "wrong vehicle" and not load the tune. The processor performance code I have seen, it is a concern but will not cause a wrench light. (I got this code trying the canned tunes.) So on to the real issue, the wrench light/limp mode. Normally, this means a bad TB, but since restoring to stock clears it, the TB is likely fine. And it also indicates the tuner IS married to the car. I would suspect a corrupt tune or the tune was written for a different processor strategy. If strategy check is disabled, SCT will flash the pcm with a different strategh.
The tuner is unmarried when I check on the device, I’m guessing it is something with the processor strategy or just a corrupted tune. I got an email back from sct asking for info on the tuner and my car. Once I hear back from them I’ll send an update on my situation.
