If it continues to happen, then you will need to set the chip to it's default (explained on page 10 of the manual) to see if it throws a code again. If it doesn't, then start working up from there.
Thanks for the information @42pilot. Isn't the dummy plug just the same as removing the tune altogether? So, technically as you said, the CEL will definitely return, right? I'll give them a call tomorrow to see what new settings can fix the CEL. I remember you saying you did multiple settings for yours until you found one that worked just right. You also mentioned you got the CEL a few times with different settings. I'm guessing the same is going on with mine.
