Question SESL, no codes

I XP'd and tow swapp'd my GT and used my factory PCM when tuning, ever since the build my service engine soon light comes on, but I have no codes

I can clear it, but it will come back on after 5 minutes of idling or 20-30 miles of driving

I kept thinking it was a random missfire code, but I get no code out of the computer

the random missfire code was deleted along with all EGR and EVAP related codes

anyone have input?

ses and no codes

What are you using to check for coses?? You may have to find someone/shop that has a "diagnostic" scan tool like a Snap On Solis or a GM Tech 2 or??

Good luck, Jake L.

Typically when the SES comes on but doesnt leave a code its due to a power failure issue, intermittent alternator, loose PCM ground, PCM, etc. If the charging system is having any problems deal with it first. Check all the battery cables and ends.

Sorry, I wish it were that easy too. I'd just keep driving it and try to notice anything out of the ordinary when it occurs.

it used to be my weekend warrior so the light never bothered me much as I only put a few hundred miles on a month, but now some old lady hit me in my DD and I am fixing that up to drive again,

I've put 2k miles on the GP since my DD was wrecked a month ago and I normally leave my house around 6:15 am so that SESL gets really bright in my eyes that early in the AM lol

I am contemplating the electrical tape mod unless I just remove the bulb, but I would much rather fix the problem

Have you tried getting it to set a code by disconnecting the TPS or coolant sensor when it is running. I've seen PCM's that would turn on the light but not be able to store a code. You may get results by performing the PCM "tap test" also.
