Valet mode wont disable

the_Z_kid · 06-05-2012, 05:34 PM

Im no where near a tune shop and my car went into valet mode without me even turning it on. I tried to do the code on the cruise control but didnt work. tried to unplug the battery and still nothing. Car also blowing black smoke when it drives. I bought it from someone and he had turbo installed and uprev tuned. Anyone have any suggestions

You need it looked at. From what it sounds like, pretty badly.

Also, it may not be valet mode, it sounds like limp mode.

does it still have the turbo? but you definitely need to get it looked at. I don't think valet mode would cause smoke...

This is just to make sure you did it right on the possibilty it's actually the valet mode causing your issue and not something else.

I hope it helps? From Uprev Q&A

How does map switching work?
Using the Cruise Control Buttons...
-Hold the set/coast toggle down
-Press "Cancel" once for map 1, twice for map 2, etc...
-Then release the set/coast toggle.
-When you release the toggle, the cruise "SET" light on the dash will blink once for map 1, twice for map 2, etc...
