8hnpSS Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 ok so i have the 3.0 x link and its been giving me a really weird issue. if i let the truck sit for more than 2 - 3 hours it will start up in REP mode. all of the connectors are in and white clips are on. now if i turn the truck off and unplug the X harness and plug it back in it goes away. does this EVERY time and its getting a bit annoying. wont go into REP mode at WOT or nothing ive gone on 3 hour drives with the truck and its fine. idk what else to do with it the truck is tuned and running strong. any suggestions would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Does your radio lose the correct time? Radio preset? Might be another power issues?? Maybe your TAC box is going out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003_SuperSport Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 My x-link has been doing the same thing... TQrush has some trouble shooting on their page you can follow... I did all of it and checked everything and the truck ran great once I cleared the code and it would not REP when driving no matter how long and hard I drove her only came on at startup occasionally LOL. I emailed TQrush and they said that sometimes the TAC and PCM turn on at slightly different times when you key on and let it sit and fuel pump prime for a second which in-turn causes a REP fault due to the voltage being different for a slight second... To correct this I make sure to insert the key, turn and start immediatley which seems to work so far so good for the last few weeks with no REP...

8hnpSS Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 tried your method of immediately turning it on and no go. still goes into REP. this is really getting annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003_SuperSport Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Damn sorry to hear that... Make sure you have a full charge on your battery... Also go get it load tested too... A weak battery will cause REP with the X-link even if it test good with a multimeter, under load it may have a weak cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU18YET Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 i had REP mode problems and switched to a ls2 car style throttle body from a tbss and haven't had problems since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A weak battery will cause REP with the X-link even if it test good with a multimeter, under load it may have a weak cell. i have an optima yellow top. i mean its getting old its going on 6 years now but the truck still cranks after over a month of sitting in the winter. i had REP mode problems and switched to a ls2 car style throttle body from a tbss and haven't had problems since. i have a car LS2 from a GTO lol what i do notice sometimes tho is when i turn the truck off while a cd is playing it starts up on a radio station instead of continuing the cd from where it was left off. idk if that means theres an electrical loss somewhere?
