@m3driv3r , try unplug BMS module from the harness and tell me if the car still run and revert to stock.
FYI, I just got another customer who blew a motor due to BMS JB4 kept clearing the check engine light that supposedly gave a warning about engine internal failure.
But since the customer in California and the product is not CARB approved nor carries warranty, he is SOL. FYI he didn't buy the unit off me and I gave him a warning beforehand on pushing the car too hard.

The only thing the car can't do after installing the RaceChip is going slowly.

Car defaults to stock.

I do not use the CEL clearing. Stupid feature IMHO, I would want to know what my CEL is for not just remove it

They do make that claim. Take 30 seconds and unplug it and start the car. It will go into limp mode.
